Formed in 1877, the jewel in the Highland golfing crown is definitely Royal Dornoch Golf Club. Universally rated as being in the world’s top 15 golf courses, Royal Dornoch is unique among the great links of Scotland in that it has never hosted the British Open. Not a reflection of its quality, this is solely because of Dornoch’s remote location. However remote it may be though, this links is a must play course on any golfing trip to Scotland.
A History of Great Play
Royal Dornoch Golf Club has hosted prestigious amateur tournaments, including the British Amateur Championship and multiple Scottish Amateur Championships, and will host the Curtis Cup in 2028. While it has not staged major professional events, the club is renowned for its challenging and scenic Championship Course and annually hosts the Carnegie Shield.
