Brora Golf Club, a James Braid-designed masterpiece, offers a unique golfing experience set against the stunning backdrop of the Scottish Highlands.
Founded in 1891, Brora Golf Club has a long and storied history. The original 9-hole course was expanded to 18 holes around 1900. In 1924, renowned golf course designer James Braid was commissioned to redesign the layout. His plans were largely implemented and have remained largely unchanged to this day, providing golfers with a fair and challenging test of true links golf.
The outward nine holes follow the contour of Kintradwell Bay, offering stunning views of the Sutherland foothills from Ben Bhraggie to the west and the Ord of Caithness to the northeast. With the exception of the short 6th hole, these holes wind along the coastline, providing a unique and picturesque golfing experience.
The inward nine holes follow the fence line of the bordering croft land, with out of bounds to concentrate the mind. Of the two short holes, the delightful 13th, Snake, winds back towards the sea, whilst the 18th contains all the concerns of protecting a score against a bunkered green a two hundred yard carry away and under the scrutiny of the clubhouse windows.
With our rich history, stunning scenery, and challenging gameplay, Brora Golf Club offers an unforgettable golfing experience.
