Located on the Chanonry Peninsula in the ‘Black Isle’ this Scottish links golf course enjoys breathtaking views over the Moray Firth, close to the City of Inverness. Established in 1888 the course was re-designed by the five times Open Champion James Braid in 1932. There is also documentary evidence of golf being played over 'Chanonry' which is now called Fortrose dating back to 1702. Playing on one of the finest links golf courses in Scotland is a must for your golfing calendar, especially as we are so close to other distinguished links in the area, such as Royal Dornoch, Castle Stuart, Brora and Nairn. The course has received accolades such as ‘a gem of a course by the sea’, ‘perhaps the best jewel in the highland golfing crown’ and ‘a unique course with special character to be found nowhere else’. The course is open every day of the year and we welcome golfers from all parts of the globe to play at this fantastic links course. The greens are not just fast but also deceptive, with tight fairways and strategically placed bunkers throughout the course - the trademark of the all-time master of bunkering, James Braid.
