Tain

It may take some time for Tain to reach the sea but you won ’ t even notice . The bumpy and dipping terrain , channelled through splashes of gorse and broom give links holes a captivating isolation . At times you won ’ t know where you are as the smart routing moves you in every direction . It is huge amounts of fun and , given the shapes on the landscape , the challenges come in all shapes and sizes ... including a burn and a river on several holes . The signature hole , known as the Alps , takes you straight out to sea with a completely blind approach between two alp-like dunes defending the green . Tain promotes itself as Old Tom Morris ’ s Northern Jewel ... and the club has been clearing bushes and whin to bring back the links feel , and show off the course as Old Tom intended .
