Muir of Ord
A sweet heathland course outside Inverness , Muir of Ord boasts the name of James Braid in its design column . The broom , the gorse , that tight springy turf all combine to give this course its flowing , colourful feel . The low-lying holes run either side of the Inverness to Wick and Kyle of Lochalsh railway line but they still have considerable shape thanks to a naturally twisting landscape that promises dips , humps and unreadable ripples . Greens are small and smartly placed so your approach shots are never simple . The old stone walls that appear early on chaperone you further as you head to higher ground and into the woods . The holes here are especially good – the par three 12th is one of the prettiest par threes you ’ ll find but also 200 yards of challenge , while the 13th is also a par three hitting steeply uphill at almost half the distance – with strong demands of your shot-making , especially on approaches . You then drift calmly back down to the level terrain where you find yourself playing parallel to the railway line once again . At par 68 it is a short course but it is delightful to play .
