Nairn has hosted many important amateur and professional Championships during its 125 year history and is regarded as among Scotland’s best golf courses – quite an accolade in a country that has so many of the world’s great links.  The first six holes along the Moray Firth coast are simply superb and as good as any opening stretch you find.  The course then cuts slightly inland and tests players with some exciting holes before the brilliant 16^th, 17^th and 18^th reward you with further views of the spectacular Firth and the excellent, modern clubhouse.  There’s a great bar and restaurant, a well-stocked pro shop and a lovely terrace where you can enjoy views East towards Inverness and watch golfers complete what will be a memorable round of golf.

Fortrose & Rosemarkie is the 15th Oldest golf club in the world and this is evident in its classic links design. Located on the Chanonry Peninsula in the North of Scotland, it is surrounded on both sides by the Moray Firth which offers golfers breathtakingly scenic views. Heading out on the front 9 into the prevailing wind, Fortrose & Rosemarkie offers a real test with strategically placed bunkers that require some thought to ensure you avoid them. The greens are classic links design with subtle undulations requiring maximum concentration. 

While not overly long, Fortrose & Rosemarkie is protected by the wind so hope for a calm day and you may find the course very playable. Catch it on a tough day and you may be hoping to catch a glimpse of the dolphins that surround the peninsula in the Moray Firth.

Fortrose & Rosemarkie has been host to some of the best National Championships there are and this is testament to the condition and layout of this wonderful true links golf course. The clubhouse is as hospitable as you will find anywhere in the world and we recommend trying the locally caught fish & chips if you have the chance.
