Nairn's truly remarkable feature is that from every hole you can see the Moray Firth and the golden colouring and changing lights of the Black Isle. Even more extraordinary, you can (only too easily) strike the ball into the sea on every one of the first seven!
What delights the visitor and member alike is the Scottish-ness of the links. Other than in a strong westerly, it leads you in gently before demanding accurate driving and precision second shots. Gorse is a hazard. The par 4 holes tease and confound and all four short holes are cunningly angled, with the 4th a little gem and the 14th simply spectacular. As three of the par 5 holes are over 530 yards long, it is a test for all. Yet, even more challenging than the humps and hollows that lurk in the fairways, is the trickery of the greens.
Front Nine
The configuration of Nairn is such that the course gets progressively more difficult as you go round. The front nine holes offers the best chance to make your score but you will still need your best game.
Back Nine
Can catch out the most experienced golfer good scores can just gradually peter out as you hit the dangerous homeward stretch. The back nine compares well with any nine in world golf.
