Royal Dornoch Golf Course

Highlight • Viewpoint

Dornoch is renowned for its wild beauty, grandeur and cultural heritage – and this is typified by the Royal Dornoch Championship Golf Course which is arguably the town’s greatest asset. Royal Dornoch is wild, majestic and absolutely beautiful!

Most surveys rank Royal Dornoch consistently in the top 10 best golf courses in the world to play. The only other golf courses in the UK with a similar world ranking are St Andrews and Royal County Down. Most golfers aspire to play Royal Dornoch at some time in their lives.

Even if you are not a keen golfer there is no denying the beauty and appeal of Royal Dornoch’s wonderful rolling greens, fairways and surrounding scenery.

The John O’ Groats Trail and other paths that border Royal Dornoch provide splendid views of this delightful course and of its fine coastal location!
