Didn’t get the value for money i expected as we were told what tees we had to play off. The course is renowned for being a championship course and boasts such facts as #1 course in Scotland. We were told to play off green tees which dropped the course length from 6600 yards to 5300. We also only had 17 holes to play as the par 3 6th was out of action. Such a disappointment and were badly misinformed by Greg McCullogh who booked my trip. Will never choose Your Golf Travel again it was a rip off
Royal Dornoch Golf Club is undoubtedly a member of the exclusive band of legendary links courses that enthusiasts flock to Scotland for. The Championship Course is ranked inside the country's top ten and has had Royal status for over a century.
The town of Dornoch is steeped in history and there is evidence of golf being played here over two Centuries before the club was founded in 1877. Old Tom Morris extended the course to 18 holes in 1889 with John H Taylor making a few changes to Old Tom's layout a few years later.
After the Second World War the Championship course was split in two and incorporated into the Ladies Course to create the Struie with George Duncan adding some extra holes to create the Royal Dornoch Championship links we see today.
Royal Dornoch provides links golf as it should be, accompanied with stunning views across the Dornoch Firth, by far one of the best courses to play on any tour of the Scottish Highlands.
