What the club says: Founded in 1870 and located three miles north of Wick in the Highlands of Scotland, this beautiful course comes highly recommended by many a player - including Ronan Rafferty. Surrounded by spectacular scenary and picturesque coastline, there can be few courses more pleasing to the body and soul.
The course is seldom crowded, green fees are moderate, and there are a number of open competitions during the year including fixtures from the Caithness Golf Week in August.

Oldest golf course in the Highlands. Pretty windy when we played but still very enjoyable. Classic links, with good mix of holes. Good test in the windy conditions

I have wanted to play this course for some time now having heard rumours about it and also having a quick look across it a few years ago while on holiday (Mrs. wouldn’t let me play that time). So this time on a holiday I made sure I played.
The course is all of what I expected you stand on the first short par 4 thinking this looks easy looking out over what seems to be a reasonably flat links course, a sensible controlled drive up towards the green leaves you a nice little flick in, if you keep it straight on walking this hole you get the feeling this course may be as easy as you first think. You notice as you get away from the clubhouse that the course wasn’t so much built but just cut out of the existing links land as all traditional links courses used to be done, not many left now. As you move on getting a feel for the wind which on my day was in the back of my head the land starts to reveal itself with swales, hollows, pot bunkers and rough that just wants to keep your ball even though you can find it quite easily. Out ward 8 very pleasant helping wind making me feel like im striking the ball better than ever all is good, then in great tradition the 9th turns straight towards the north sea and a great looking par 3 with spectacle bunkers guarding the front and dunes all around suddenly bites back. Now your heading home having to carefully ease your ball through the now aggressive wind with some but not much protection from the high sea dune running along the beach, a sliced ball here can end up a long way off the fairway. Some of the best holes are on the back with great views over Sinclair bay and Ackergill tower with raised tees cut into the side of the dunes.
All in all this course is a hole bunch of fun and should be on everyone’s list of courses to play as a true representation of a traditional links, but do remember this is a small members club with little money but a lot of passion it is not like the trump course with starters and caddies and cocktails, the clubhouse may not even be open but just sign the book and leave your green fee in the honesty box and have a great day as we did

Awesome stunning backdrops to a well maintained thoroughly testing course that unfolds like a beautifully written poem. Am not disappointed in my first true links experience and would recommend this course to any and all golfers. The staff were 100% accommodating and cannot be praised highly enough.
