Golf courses in Sutherland

Sutherland offers some of Scotland's most remote and spectacular golf. Brora Golf Club, where cattle roam freely across the links, provides an authentic, unchanged links experience that has delighted visitors for over a century. The course, designed by James Braid, is consistently ranked among Scotland's finest hidden gems.

Golspie and Durness add to the region's offerings, with Durness representing mainland Britain's most northwesterly course - a nine-hole layout where the scenery alone is worth the journey.

The terrain is classic Highland links - natural duneland along the coast, with mountain backdrops and vast, empty beaches. Sutherland's remoteness is part of its appeal; courses here feel untouched by time. The far north enjoys remarkably long summer days - golf at midnight is possible in June. Spring through early autumn provides the most reliable weather, though this dramatic landscape rewards visitors in any season.
