Located on the Chanonry Peninsula in the Black Isle, the Fortrose & Rosemarkie Golf Links enjoys breathtaking views over the Moray Firth, close to the City of Inverness. Playing on the 15th oldest recorded golf club in the world is must, more so for its proximity to other distinguished links in the area, such as Royal Dornoch, Castle Stuart, Brora and Nairn. The course was consecutively awarded as Scotland's Best Golfing Experience at the Scottish Golf Tourism Awards in 2017 and 2018 by more than 400 members of the golfing industry.
The course is renowned for not only its uniqueness being surrounded by three sides by the water but its strategically placed bunkers, tight fairways and fast deceptive greens. Keep an eye out for the resident dolphins that call the waters off the peninsula home. Over the years, Fortrose & Rosemarkie has received glowing accolades such as “a gem of a course by the sea”, “perhaps the best jewel in the highland golfing crown” and “a unique course with special character to be found nowhere else”. The Luxury Travel Guide Lifestyle Awards have also honored it as the 'Golf Club of the Year for Scotland 2019'.
