Royal Dornoch

Grok says… Royal Dornoch Golf Club is one of the world’s most celebrated links courses, tucked away in the remote Scottish Highlands along the stunning Dornoch Firth. With golf played on its grounds since 1616 and the club established in 1877 (earning “Royal” status in 1906), the Championship Course features timeless design touches from Old Tom Morris and the iconic raised, domed greens that inspired Donald Ross’s legendary American layouts. Praised by legends like Tom Watson (who called it one of his most enjoyable rounds ever), it’s consistently ranked among the top courses globally for its natural beauty, strategic challenge, and windswept coastal drama.
