So well is the Championship golf course regarded, that magazine polls across the world regularly have it in their top 20. Despite being 45 miles north of Inverness it is well worth the trek!
Royal Dornoch - Championship Course
18 holes, 70 par, 6514 yards. Links.The opening hole on the Championship golf course, a simple par 4, is no indication of the joy – and trouble – to come. It is not until golfers walk over the headlands to the third tee that they get a sense of this striking golf course. Tom Watson came here and said he'd had "the most fun I've ever had on a golf course" and he's played a few!
