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.
