About the Course
Royal Dornoch is a pilgrimage destination for golfers worldwide. Perched on a raised beach plateau overlooking the Dornoch Firth, this is golf in its purest form. Tom Watson called it 'the most fun I have ever had playing golf.' The course features natural undulations, hidden plateaux greens, and a rhythm that feels ordained by nature rather than designed by man. Golf has been played here since 1616, making it one of the oldest courses in the world.
