Golf Breaks in the Scottish Highlands

Why Book a Golf Break in the Highlands & Inverness

There can be few more dramatic settings for a golf tour than the Scottish Highlands, where tranquillity, calm and amazing natural beauty are the unique backdrop. The varied landscape translates into a diverse collection of golfing possibilities, ranging from old-fashioned links to idyllic mountain gems.

When going to the highlands you need to plan ahead, with so many great courses in a 100 hundred mile radius, you could get lost up there for a week and never play a great course twice.

Our guide to playing the best golf courses in the Scottish Highlands.

Highlands & Inverness Golf

The jewel in the crown has to be Royal Dornoch, the walk from the 2nd to the 3rd tee alone will give you chills. Further North is Brora, a tricky links perched on the North East Coast.

Castle Stuart is another must play, the most unique clubhouse you will have the pleasure of enjoying along with a golf course with spectacular views over the river Moray. Boat of Garten truly is a hidden gem that feels like it has been there forever, cut out of the Scottish landscape with gentle undulations and more character than you would believe, you will need every club in your bag to get round it.
