Golf has been played over this piece of links land prior to 1850, with Kilspindie Golf Club officially established in 1899 due to a divided membership and the subsequent opening of Luffness New Golf Club. The links were designed by legendary locals Willie Park Jr. and Ben Sayers, with only minor modifications over the years. Pressed against the banks of the Firth of Forth, the direction and strength of the wind will dictate how favourable the days conditions are for play. Its location also ensures golfers at Kilspindie are no stranger to witnessing sea-birds diving for food, migratory geese, and seals sunning on the sand.
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.
