Royal Dornoch Golf Club is said to have the northernmost Championship course in the world. It is of such high quality that many professionals hone their game at Dornoch leading up to the Open Championship each year. Its isolation is the main reason for it not having hosted an Open Championship.
The course is a typical old links with nine holes running away from the clubhouse and nine holes coming back. When the gorse bushes are in flower, it is a magnificent sight and its proximity to the ocean affords water views on all holes.
Most tees at Royal Dornoch are elevated high above the level of the fairway allowing the wind to take your ball at its whim and adding to the challenge. The greens are generally long and narrow and some are quite undulating. The putting surfaces are wonderful and will reward a good stroke.
It is no surprise that Royal Dornoch is regularly rated among the top 20 courses in the world, and after you play there, you are certain to agree.
