Nairn Dunbar Golf Club is located just a 5-minute walk from the centre of Nairn, this course is easily accessible through convenient transport links. The club has earned a great reputation for its friendly and welcoming staff. The course is maintained in superb condition throughout the year, making it a top destination for visiting players. Relax in the clubhouse lounge after a round, overlooking the course with views across the nearby marina.

Situated on the shores of the Moray Firth, the Nairn Dunbar Golf Club was founded in 1899, is a highly rated Scottish links championship course representing a formidable challenge with its gorse-lined fairways. In 1999 for the Northern Open Professional Championship, the Scottish Ladies Amateur Stroke Play and the Scottish Boys Stroke Play. In 2001 the club hosted the Scottish Amateur Stroke Play Championship (qualifying rounds) and in 2002 the Seniors Home Internationals and the Scottish Open Amateur Mixed Tournaments.

A challenging par four opens the par 72 course, followed by a shortish par four, then a straightforward par three, allowing a relatively gentle warm up. Be prepared though for a strong quartet of long, demanding par fours which are then encountered, where gorse, trees, greenside bunkers and out of bounds all present problems. This tough sequence of holes is then topped off by the semi-blind par three “Brodie,” the 163-yard signature hole 8th, with its green nestled in a bowl, surrounded by bunkers.

Three newer holes are located around the turn, at the furthest point from the clubhouse, before the routing moves inland, culminating in a muscular three-hole stretch that maintains the challenging nature of Nairn Dunbar right to the end. With two par fives in this closing section at holes 16 and 18, you might think there’s the chance of perhaps even securing a birdie – think again, as the benign stroke index for these holes is very misleading, especially at the last, which requires a blind approach shot to the severely raised home green.
