Royal Dornoch As one of the world’s greatest and oldest golf courses, Royal Dornoch never fails to enthral. Its location in the Highlands is stunning but the course is even better. Here you will find the soul of Old Tom Morris flowing through the greens which are some of the best you will ever play on. They frequently sit up on large plateaus which make them delicious targets. The golf course often feels like you have stepped into a painting, so perfect do the holes look from the tee box. It is laid out in a crescent around Dornoch Bay, with the course’s three tiers slipping down to the beach giving it an undeniable majesty. Your arrival on the 3rd tee is where you will realise how perfect it is, while views from the 7th tee box display all of the course’s beauty. There’s the Struie course here, too. 74
