Brora Golf Club in Scotland
A James Braid golf course in the far north
Brora Golf Club is located in the village of Brora in Sutherland, northern Scottish Highlands. It’s about one hour’s drive from us here at Mackays Hotel, down the east coastline. This beautiful course has 18 holes, designed in 1924 by the famous course architect and golfer, James Braid. Visitors are welcome and you can book a tee time online in advance. Brora is one of the best golf courses in Scotland, although perhaps less well-known than some of its neighbours, such as Royal Dornoch and Golspie. So, this hidden gem with spectacular North Sea views is not to be missed!
We had booked this for the first of a two night stay in Wick. The food was so good we reserved a table for the following evening. The staff were excellent, one member of the team I think called Craig went above and beyond on both evenings to make our meal an experience. Highly recommend
Clubhouse & facilites
The clubhouse offers a warm and welcoming retreat, where members can enjoy a well-stocked bar and dining menu. Other facilities include locker rooms with showers and a pro shop stocked with golfing essentials and equipment. A putting green, short-game pitching area and hitting nets are also available for practice.
Brora village
The club is set in Brora village, which is well worth a visit after your round of golf. With charming cafes and local shops, it is a welcoming place to explore. It also has a sandy beach, backed by dunes. Perfect for leisurely walks and spotting local wildlife. Whisky lovers can visit Clynelish Distillery for a tour and tasting, while history buffs can explore Brora Heritage Centre to learn about the area’s coal mining past.
