Machrihanish Dunes

Machrihanish Dunes, hard on the Atlantic, is the only course ever created on a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). David McLay Kidd ‘uncovered’ 18 magnificent holes along a natural routing through the mature dunes adjacent to Machrihanish Golf Club. With no fewer than six greens and five tees lie at the ocean’s edge and there are spectacular panoramic views across to Northern Ireland and Scotland’s western islands from every fairway. Opened in 2009, Machrihanish Dunes is perhaps the most natural golf course ever built and features undulating fairways and greens, and natural bunkers and roughs.

Tain Golf Club

Situated to the south of Royal Dornoch, Tain is a heathland/links course with spectacular views. Designed originally by Old Tom Morris as a fifteen-hole course in 1890, it was extended to eighteen holes in 1894; eleven Morris holes are still in play today. This is an easy walking course 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.
