Situated on the shores of the Moray Firth, the Nairn Dunbar golf course, founded in 1899, is a highly rated Scottish links championship course representing a formidable challenge with its gorse and whin lined fairways.

Renowned for its excellent condition and friendly reception to visitors, it was the chosen venue in 1999 for the Northern Open Professional Championship, the Scottish Ladies Amateur Stroke Play and the Scottish Boys Strokeplay. Three new holes were introduced in 1994 to enhance the overall layout.

The new ninth hole, a par 5, is cut into a silver birch wood and is followed by the testing dog-leg par 4 10th which is characterized by a winding waterway. The 11th is now a short but tricky par 3. With these changes the course measures 6720 yards, Par 72.

A spacious new clubhouse was officially opened in May 1998 by Sir Michael Bonallack OBE. Facilities include an extensive lounge/bar, dining room and a visitor's locker room.
