This gem of a links was designed by Old Tom Morris and upgraded by James Braid, and it combines beautiful scenery and exceptional views with some very testing holes. Brora is a true links course with a mixture of bent grass, beach sand and gorse; there is also a railway line that comes into play on the 10th hole. Although it only plays 6,110 yards from the back tees, the course provides plenty of challenges for all golfers.
Situated to the south of Royal Dornoch, Tain is a heathland/links hotels with spectacular views. Designed originally by Old Tom Morris as a fifteen-hole hotels in 1890, it was extended to eighteen holes in 1894; eleven Morris holes are still in play today. This is an easy walking hotels with the river meandering through three of the holes. Always presented in beautiful condition, Tain is a good test of golf, with clever bunkering and natural water hazards. Tain is located 35 miles north of Inverness.
