Golf

For the discerning golfer, the Scottish Highlands boasts three outstanding links Championship Courses of the highest quality, and all within an hour's drive of Gask House.   

You can also practice your skills at the local, fully computerised and refurbished Inverness Fairways practice range.  

Royal Dornoch  (49 miles, 1 hour drive from Gask House)
Royal Dornoch is spellbinding and many golfers from all over the world make the pilgrimage to this natural links at some point in their lives. It is often quoted as one of the must-play courses.

It's the timeless setting that makes Royal Dornoch such a pleasing place to play golf. It's wild, isolated and, at the same time, absolutely beautiful; there's the blaze of colour in early summer when the gorse is in flower. The pure white sandy beach divides the links from the Dornoch Firth and it all feels very humbling
 

Nairn Golf Club (22 miles, 40 minutes from Gask House)
What delights the visitor and member alike is the Scottish-ness of the Links. Other than in a strong westerly, it leads you in gently before demanding accurate driving and precision second shots. Gorse is a hazard.

The par 4 holes tease and confound and all four short holes are cunningly angled, with the 4th a little gem and the 14th simply spectacular. As three of the par 5 holes are over 530 yards long, it is a test for all. The sea is visible everywhere and actually in play (depending upon the accuracy of your shot and the state of the tide!) on 5 of the front 9 holes.  

 

Castle Stuart (Cabot Highland) (21 miles, 30 min from Gask House)
Hugging the shoreline of the Moray Firth, the rugged and natural landscape is comprised of vast expanses of gorse, broom, heather, and sea marram. Tightly framed vistas combine the immediacy of natural surrounds with far-stretching views, creating at once a sense of grounding and grandeur. Manicured playing surfaces and natural rugged vegetation come together in a design reminiscent of golf’s golden age.

If your golfing ambitions are more modest, there are plenty of other courses in the area that may not have the cache of the big three, but are very enjoyable nonetheless and suit all abilities. There are no bad courses up here! All are within range of a day out.
