The Machrie Links

Golf has been played at The Machrie Links since 1891. Designed by Willie Campbell and more recently modernised by course architect DJ Russell. This course combines the very best of a traditional, historic links course from a previous age, with a modern Links. The need for thought, imagination and creative shot-making has not changed throughout the years. And carries as much of a premium over sheer power now, as it did then, in 1891. The perfect links terrain set on unique dunelands bordering on the magnificent Laggan Bay in Islay - a must play stop on your Golf Trip of Scotland.

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.
