Royal Dornoch Golf Club

Royal Dornoch Golf Club is a golf club in Dornoch, Sutherland, Scotland. It is generally referred to as Royal Dornoch. The Championship Course is a links course located on the Dornoch Firth. The club has two 18-hole courses: the Championship Course and the Struie Course.

Royal Dornoch has never hosted any of the modern professional tournaments. The British Amateur Championship was held there in 1985 and the Scottish Amateur in 1993, 2000 and 2012.

The Championship Course was ranked #3 on the 2007 Golf Digest list of Top 100 International (outside U.S.) courses. David Brice, of Golf International, called it the "king of Scottish links courses".

History

It is claimed that golf was played in Dornoch in the early seventeenth century. The current golf club was established in 1877. It was made a royal golf club in 1906. The design of the Championship Course is attributed to Old Tom Morris.
