What The Club Says

Formed in 1877, Dornoch has now been a Royal club for over 100 years! It is not just the Championship course that presents golfers with the challenges of links-land. Our second 18 hole course the Struie is enjoyable and entertaining for the whole family at a modest green fee, and it can also test the lower handicap player.

Truly a Champion (Royal Dornoch)

From the minute you arrive, Royal Dornoch oozes class. Great welcome, friendly staff, the place has a proper “Golf Aura” surrounding it.
Starter was great, lovely little pack, bag tag, scorecard holder, planner, a lovey memento.
The course was just immense, from The 1st, (The First) to the 18th (Glenmorangie) every single hole was a joy to play. Don’t think I could pick a favourite, and, to me, there are no weak holes. Just lots of enjoyment.
At a place like Dornoch, scores don’t matter. But, it’s always nice to sneak a birdie somewhere, probably on the way out.
I loved all the par 3s, none of which are particularly long, proving Par 3s don’t need to be 200+ yards.
Once in your life, just forget the expense, and play Royal Dornoch

Mr Danny Brooks

The Struie is the sister course , but what a challenge , as with all links the fairways are bumpy but cut like greens , stay on them and you can score well , and the greens , wow you really have to know your wedges to land on these , if not its putter all day long from as far our as 70 yards , great experience, to play on a course up there with the best

The course was in great condition (in April). The scenery and setting were outstanding. It was comfortably the best course that I have ever played (having played a reasonable number in the Top 100 rankings).

Course in beautiful condition set up for all players to enjoy. As some holes are very long par 4’s these are a real challenge for the average golfer. Great fun to play this iconic course in perfect conditions.
