Stegosauri

Despite only having the front nine open during punching/sanding of back nine greens, this remains a challenging and very enjoyable course.
It’s tight from tee to green and the greens are large with many subtle undulations. The driving range is very serviceable.

The staff are welcoming,, and I enjoyed my freshly made sandwich.

I will definitely return again when in the area.

Researching the oldest courses in Scotland I found this one, which only claims the age of its current layout from the 1880s, but has evidence of play as far back as 1702, making it one of the very earliest golfing grounds. The spit of land is a textbook links site.
Got a great deal through GolfNow (£18 for early afternoon in June!) which made the friendly and helpful pro shake his head ruefully. Practice ground across the road, basic but serviceable.
The course is tight with lots of gorse. A couple of blind shots, but otherwise it's pretty clear where you should hit it, though my own success at that was, shall we say, intermittent.
Beautiful spot on charming & scenic Black Isle,. The course was in good shape and fun, an interesting layout with a real sense of history. Didn't see any Moray Firth dolphins, but otherwise had a splendid time.
Highly recommended.

I played here last year for the first time in at least 25 years and was very pleasantly surprised. Although for one shoulder season round the conditions were a bit too "rustic", in general it's decently maintained. The best part about it is that the layout is quite enjoyable: a good mix of holes, none really weak or weird and a number of strong ones.
I'm loath to say too much more lest this relatively low profile and very good value course gets "discovered" by too many folks, so let's just keep this our secret, OK?
