THE EVENT

Courses to be played on rotation in any order as per the draw.

BRORA

Brora is a traditional course with an out and back layout running alongside the breath-taking North Sea coastline. Brora remains the headquarters of the James Braid Golfing Society and was regarded by its President Peter Thompson as “one of the finest natural links courses that I have had the pleasure of playing.” Can our golfers keep their focus amidst such stunning scenery?

GOLSPIE

Formed in 1889 and offering lovely views of the Dornoch Firth, Golspie provides an enjoyable experience with its rather unique mix of links, heathland, meadowland and parkland holes. The course has plenty of character and, although it appears straightforward on the card, our pairs will need to make sure they are on their game to post a good score.

ROYAL DORNOCH

Royal Dornoch is simply bucket list golf at its finest. The reputation, setting and history of this superb links mean that professionals and amateurs alike travel here from all over the world. Indeed, Ben Crenshaw, Greg Norman and Tom Watson are among its biggest fans, with the latter describing it as “the most fun I ever had playing golf.” It is often referred to as the best course in the UK not to have hosted an Open, and is a real treat to tackle.
