Silly

On most holes, just aim at the lighthouse! A lot of blind shots, a lot of sloping fairways. Kings Links nearby is a better course.

Reviewed Aug 29 2009

this is a costal course which is hilly and can 'suffer' from high winds.
It is in excellent condition probably due to being so physicaly demanings and is not easily played by high handicapers/casual golfers.
There is a club house nearby by for members of the Nigg golf club to which members are welcome but I have never visited.

There is a lot of blind holes but this is a nice course and recommend giving it a go as long as it's not a windy day.

Different Challenge Every Day

Balnagask is a great course, which provides a different challenge every day, depending on the weather.
Always in good condition, with greens in good condition.
Love playing the course.
