The course is particularly interesting for its shape and its layout. It starts off virtually in a park before moving on to pure links holes, then into woods and heath. This is a very enjoyable course with a variation of short and long holes.
Built in 1889 Golspie is a great course to play just before going to Brora, further North.

This friendly Golf course is a great test of golf and lives in the shadow of its well known neighbour Nairn Golf club.
Situated on the shores of the Moray Firth, the Nairn Dunbar golf course, founded in 1899, it is a highly rated Scottish links championship course representing a formidable challenge with its gorse.
The new club-house is really comfortable if you wish to spend a bit more time on the 19th hole. |
