Durness Golf Club is the most northerly golf course on mainland Britain, further north than Moscow and on a similar latitude to Anchorage, Alaska. It is one of Scotland’s youngest clubs, designed in 1988 by three local enthusiasts – Francis Keith, Ian Morrison and Lachlan Ross. The nine-hole course uses two sets of tees to provide an 18-hole experience, with its signature finishing hole requiring a 155-yard drive across an inlet of the Atlantic.
Located in the far north-west of Sutherland, Durness GC may be a little out of the way, but it’s well worth the miles of single-track roads you’ll have to drive from Dornoch to get here. This lovely little course will spoil you with incredible views over the stunning Balnakeil beach and a spectacularly friendly welcome at the clubhouse. Will definitely return.
