Course Layout
Fortrose & Rosemarkie Golf Course is a classic 18-hole course that is just under 6,000 yards long. Don’t let the distance fool you—this course is challenging! The fairways are narrow, and the grass is firm and fast. With natural coastal defences, you’ll need to plan your shots carefully and choose the right club for each swing. Plus, being by the coast means the wind always plays a role, making every game a new experience.
Standout Hole
One of the signature holes is the par-4 4th, a challenging dogleg that hugs the shore. With water to the right and thick gorse to the left, accuracy is crucial. Another standout is the 18th hole, a par-4 finishing hole that tests nerve and skill, especially when the wind picks up. Each hole showcases the rugged beauty of traditional links golf.

Golfers will enjoy great facilities at the club. They have a modern clubhouse with amazing sea views, a fully stocked pro shop, and a friendly restaurant that serves local dishes. The practice areas include a spot for short games and a putting green, so you can sharpen your skills before hitting the course.
