Brora Golf Club
Overview
Brora Golf Club is located along the windy shores of the North Sea in the Scottish Highlands. This club gives golfers a true links experience and is rich in history. Designed by James Braid in 1923, Brora is one of Scotland’s best-kept secrets. The course has a simple layout that goes out and back, with the first nine holes leading away from the clubhouse and the last nine bringing you back. Along the way, golfers can enjoy stunning views of the coast.
Course Layout
Brora Golf Club is an 18-hole championship course that measures just over 6,200 yards long. This par-70 links course mixes beautiful natural land with smart challenges. Players need to be precise and think carefully about which club to use. Staying true to links golf, Brora features hard fairways, fast greens, and tricky rough filled with gorse bushes. The sea breeze can change all the time, adding an extra layer of difficulty. Every round offers a new challenge for golfers of all skill levels!
Standout Holes
One of the signature holes is the par-3 9th, known as “Sea Hole.” Playing downhill towards the coastline, this hole offers stunning views and requires precision to land safely on the green.
