What the club says: Overlooking the Dornoch Firth, Tain arguably offers one of the best settings imaginable in the highlands for a round of golf . With sea on one side and the backdrop of the mountains behind, every day brings a different aspect to this challenging and beautiful course.
Designed in 1890 by Old Tom Morris, the layout of the holes guarantees an interesting round for beginners or experts.

A true test and a natural beauty
Tain is a truly exceptional golf course.It has some very unique holes and must be one of the hardest courses ever played by the undersigned. This Tom Morris chappy knew his stuff. It is a true test of natural beauty. The wind can be brutal and some of the holes even more so. The 16th an 17th holes are both par 3s, both totally different and both a true test especially in the prevailing wind. Word of warning avoid the water and deep bunkers on both! There is more water than you think or can even see and the pot bunkers can prove exceptionally hard to get out of.
The greens are fast, run true and very compact.
The opening hole is a bit strange, drive straight and down the fairway and then an 8 or 9 will get you on to the green..You'll be aiming to get the ball over a fence and a road. Avoid the left as there is long nasty grass and gorse. The 3rd is a longish par 4 stroke index 2. Tricky. The 9th a lovely par 4 dog right. Cut the corner at your peril, but don't go long or you'll end up in a tricky bunker. I hit a great drive, but not knowing the course went long.
The 11th has a big mound just in front of the green with a marker on it. You'll need a good tee shot and an amazing second iron. Don't go l9ng or you'll end up on mud flats.
Overall I think this course is a 9/10. It is brilliant. We will play it again and I may even join as a country member. Finally pro shop staff (Graham) friendly and very helpful.

Playing at Tain is a thoroughly enjoyable experience. As early as the 3rd hole you realise a golfing challenge awaits you - but the course has a tremendous lay out. The unique 11th with it's stunning outlook over the Dornoch Firth is the signature hole. Playing in a 40mph wind made the course all the more interesting, in particular the par 3 17th! Made very welcome. The club has great facilities. Highly recommend.Reviewer Rating

Tain has to be one of my very favourite courses. It is a great mixture of links and parkland. Super friendly people and great facilities. Play it, you won't regret it.

This course is one of the hidden gems of the Highlands, played many times as my parents now live there a hard but fair course if you keep your drives straight, tricky greens usually hidden by nasty bunkers but makes it all the more challenging, excellent shop & clubhouse just love the place
