This
unusual and captivating course was laid out on the narrow Charonry
Point peninsula by James Braid and opened in 1888. It has been
described as "perhaps the brightest jewel in the Highlands' golfing
crown" and is certainly worth a pilgrimage.
Small deceptive
greens and strategically-placed bunkers, as well as the natural
hazards of gorse and sea, provide a thorough examination of the
golfer.
The course has magnificent
views over the Cromarty Firth and of the forbidding barracks at
Fort George, while bottle nosed dolphins can sometimes be spied
off shore. The club extends a warm welcome to visitors in the
sure knowledge that they will almost certainly wish to come back.
