Experience golf in the wilds of Scotland
The Highlands is possibly one of Scotland’s most defining regions, with rugged coastlines, stunning landscapes, the world-famous Loch Ness, and the exciting city of Inverness. Plus, the golf is truly something to behold, with an incredibly impressive links line-up of Royal Dornoch, Nairn, Brora, and former Scottish Open host, Castle Stuart.
The Highlands is Scotland's biggest playground and it is more accessible than you might think. A quick plane journey directly to Inverness from anywhere in the UK and you could be on the tee at one of the best Highlands golf courses within a couple of hours.

What makes a golf break in the Highlands so special?
Golf in Scotland is possibly its most popular pastime and sport, however golf in the highlands remains relatively unheralded by many, yet the Highlands golf courses certainly live up to the quality and historic value that the more known courses further south do, meaning that golfers are near enough guaranteed to receive a fantastic quality experience for a fraction of the price.
The Highlands have many courses of note, however, a favourite of ours is certainly Castle Stuart Golf Links, a contemporary links course located 20 minutes from Inverness Airport. This golf course only opened in 2009, yet the land has taken so well to it that golfers could be fooled into thinking this outstanding course has existed for 150 years. Another customer favourite of the Highlands is Royal Dornoch and its two courses.
The Championship Course is consistently voted into the Top 20 courses globally, yet surprisingly it still hasn’t hosted The Open, and the Struie Course which although it lives in the shadow of the Championship Course has earned itself significant repute.
