This championship seaside links course is to be found just south of Royal Birkdale in North-West England. Founded in 1884, Formby was originally laid out by Willie Park as a 9-hole course. The 18-hole course was modified by James Braid and Harry S. Colt in the 1920s and, more recently, it has been extended by Donald Steel. Playing in parts through pine trees, which provide some protection from the wind, the course requires accuracy rather than distance
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.

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.
