Brora is a bucket lister. Designed by the legendary James Braid, in an outrageous setting, and with various challenges, this round is pure entertainment.
This is why golfers make the pilgrimage to Scotland.
Don’t be disappointed if you score higher than usual; Brora can be harsh and unforgiving.
It’s no secret many legendary links have Old Tom Morris’s name attached. Shaping the fairways around the natural coastal landscape, Tain Golf Club’s undulating terrain is perfect.
Our favourite hole is the 13th because of the birdie opportunity.
Finally, the Golspie Golf Course is unreal. As another James Braid design, the layout produces constant challenges, thrills, and idyllic views across 18 holes.
Beware of the closing hole, where the second shot is blind (thanks to a classic mound). Don’t be disappointed with a bogey to finish.
