A setting and topography that combine to make the golf experience visually memorable; The golf holes are 18 compositions that place the notable landmarks of the Moray Firth directly into the player’s perspective.

This course was the venue where Phil Mickelson won the Scottish Open the week prior to wining the Open Championship at Muirfield in 2013.

Day 4 - Play Nairn Golf Club
Evidence exists of golf being played in this region in 1616. Surely the only reason it has never hosted a professional tournament is its location in the north of the country. Ranked #2 in Golf Digest's World Top 100 in 2018.

Founded in 1887, it is now one of the best courses in Scotland, and has hosted a large number of important championships including the 1999 Walker Cup and 2012 Curtis Cup.

Cruden Bay is known for its rolling terrain and memorable holes such as the par-3 4th. Originally designed by Tom Morris of St Andrews and Archie Simpson in 1899 and re-designed in the 1920’s by Tom Simpson and Herbert Fowler; it is either quirky or a masterpiece but one this is for sure, this is one that will linger long in the memory and will be a fun time.

A Championship Course where the club was founded in 1870 but where golf was played since 1589, this is Royalty! Perhaps the best front nine in Scottish links golf.
