Royal Dornoch
Links laid out from 1877 in the far north, refined by Old Tom Morris
Overview
Dornoch wraps along the Dornoch Firth and is a pilgrimage for golf architects who praise its natural green sites. Tom Watson called it the most fun he ever had on a course. The par 3 sixth over gorse to a plateau green is its postcard hole.
