Brora Golf Club
Played On 05/15/2014True links golf
True links golf with sea on the right on first nine holes but never in play. No big sand dunes but the course undulates and you get the odd bounce here and there. The 7th hole has a burn across the front of the green and is an excellent hole as is the par 3 9th which plays down to the beach.
Back nine holes were very slow as we caught up people using caddies.
Can't comment about the 19th hole as we didn't go in, I think this was due to a combination of the slow play on the back nine and the unhelpful person in the pro shop when we arrived. He didn't seem to care if we had come to play the course or not.
Beware of the greens, if you are short you roll off, if you are long you roll off, they are a great challenge.
Enjoyed the course and would play it again.

Played On 05/15/2014Challenging greens
I hope the man in the pro shop was having a bad day as I would like to think he was normally more pleasant.
We set off behind two three balls and were enjoying the challenges of the course. particularly the greens - dont be short and don't be long on them. The pace of play was good and there were no hold ups until we got to 11th hole when there were three groups on the hole, ourselves, one of the three balls in front of us and a different three ball. We then waited on every shot until the 18th and on the 13th we sat on the tee for about 1/2 hour!
Overall the course was in good condition and the greens excellent if a tad slow but if like me you have issues with links courses where you do not know where the fairway is from the tee then you may not enjoy the challenge.

Played On 05/13/2014Excellent course to play golf whilst on holiday
The people in the pro shop, the members on the first tee, the ground staff we spoke with on the course and the bar staff were all very friendly and welcoming.
We kept coming to holes where we said this is a great looking hole. The course wasn't too difficult to play until you went offline and then the score could add up quickly.
Will play the course again when in the area and will recommend it to our golfing friends.

Played On 05/13/2014There were several hole we came to and kept saying this is a lovely hole.
Great day out. The Pro shop, the members we met on the first tee, the ground staff we talked to on the course and the bar staff were all extremely friendly and helpful.
The course wasn't that difficult until you put the ball in the wrong place and then the score could add up very quickly.
Would recommend this course to anyone and will play again when we are in the area.
