COURSE
GUIDE
ROYAL
DORNOCH
 Despite
its northerly latitude, some 45 miles North of Inverness and nearly 200
miles from Edinburgh, improvements to roads help Royal Dornoch to continue
to be one of the most popular golf courses in Scotland. So well is it
regarded that magazine polls across the world regularly have it in their
top twenty, it is well worth the extra miles it takes to get there.
Old
Tom Morris originally laid the course out in 1891 and John Sutherland
- Dornoch's club secretary from 1882 through to 1935 - made subsequent
changes. After World War II the course was again considerably altered
by George Duncan who designed five new holes: Nos 7 through to 11.
 The
opening hole at Royal Dornoch, a simple par 4, is no indication of the
joy - and trouble - to come. It is not until golfers walk over the headlands
to the third tee that they get a sense of this striking golf course. Wondrous
swards of fair way and green, with clusters of players dotting the beach-front,
unfold a mile in each direction. The embankments of the old dunes on the
landward side of the course, from late April until early June, are a carpet
of flaming yellow gorse.
The course
is just over 6,500 yards, but this is no reflection on the degree of difficulty
to be found on many holes. It is classic links with the first 8 holes
following the natural slants and humps of old dune embankments while the
rest flank the sandy beaches of Dornoch Bay. Raised or sloping greens
are characteristic as well as elevated tees so the target is well presented
although rarely easy to reach. Dornoch, perhaps more than most, is a thinking
golfers course where it is not enough to simply keep the ball on the fairway.
A position has to be sought on most holes where the green can be accessed
to your advantage.
