Tain Golf Course
Overview
Tain Golf Course is located in the Scottish Highlands and is a must-visit for anyone who loves golf. Created in 1890 by the famous Old Tom Morris, this 18-hole course combines tradition with the challenge of a true links experience. Players can enjoy amazing views of the Dornoch Firth while navigating the firm fairways, clever bunkers, and rolling greens. Tain Golf Course is perfect for golfers of all skill levels looking for a fun and memorable game.
Course Layout
The golf course has a par of 70 and is just over 6,400 yards long from the back tees. It starts off easy, helping players get into a good rhythm at first. As the round goes on, it gets trickier and requires more precise shots. The coastal winds make it even more challenging, so players need to choose their clubs carefully. The course is beautifully designed to fit with the natural landscape, giving it a true links style with fairways lined by gorse and rolling hills.
Standout Holes
One of the signature holes is the par-4 11th, aptly named “Alps,” where an elevated green is guarded by bunkers and rough slopes, offering both risk and reward. Another standout is the 17th hole, a tough par 3 where accuracy is essential, especially when the wind picks up off the sea.
Facilities
Tain Golf Club has great facilities that add to the fun of playing golf. The clubhouse has beautiful views, serves Scottish food, and has a good selection of drinks. There are practice areas with a putting green and places to work on your short game, so golfers can practice before they hit the course. The pro shop is well-stocked with popular brands and has friendly staff who are ready to help.
