Situated between the true links at Royal Dornoch in the south and Brora in the north, this James Braid-influenced design from 1926 – the club itself dates back to 1889 – is a great mixture of links, heathland and parkland. The course is featured in the Top100 list and I understand why. Its great fun to re-adjust your play during a round for several times because the course characteristics change from classical links to typical heathland and back again. At £80 the green fee is modest and the pro shop team is very friendly. So, when you are planning to play Dornoch save some time for Golspie, too.
