Although golf at the Dornoch links dates back to 1616, the club itself dates from 1877 when the Sutherland Golfing Society applied to play golf over the links. It was King Edward VII who bestowed the title 'Royal' on Dornoch Golf Club in 1906. As might be expected the club has a rich history and an association with some of the greatest golfers of the past.

Course Details

Course Name: Championship Holes: 18 Yardage: 6514 SSS: 73

Initially designed Old Tom Morris in 1886 and later modified by JH Taylor and Donald Ross, this course has undergone many subtle changes over the years, mostly lengthening. It has won accolades from many quarters not least from Open champion Tom Watson making it one of the most popular golf courses in Scotland. The course, like many historic links, goes almost straight out and straight back, but the angle changes subtly at each hole; the greens are big and undulating and many are plateaux requiring well hit shots; nothing is hidden, but it requires a golfer playing at his best to see it all and adjust his strategy. There is plenty of room off the tee, but where to place the drive depends on the wind and the pin positions.
