Royal Dornoch Championship

Royal Dornoch Championship is the links course beside the Dornoch Firth in the Scottish Highlands. Its tiered landscape and raised greens reward thoughtful approaches; this guide excludes the separate Struie Course.

KNOW THE COURSE

What to know

Identity and design

Old Tom Morris extended the links to eighteen holes in 1886. The course follows tiered linksland beside the Dornoch Firth rather than being a generic overview of the club's two courses.

Playing character and defining features

The second hole illustrates the raised-green challenge: bunkers guard the front while slopes shed shots around the sides and back. Choose an approach for the day's conditions.

Visitor planning and travel context

Dornoch is the geographic anchor. Book the Championship identity explicitly and discuss caddie or equipment requests with the office; reserve travel time without assuming fixed journey times or live availability.
