Brora Golf Club

Brora Golf Club, an idyllic golf course steeped in history, sits resplendent on the edge of the North Sea in the village of Brora, Highland, in the United Kingdom. Founded in 1891, the club boasts commanding views of unspoilt wilderness that combines the gentle tranquillity of the countryside with the rugged beauty of the coastline. Its prospects are enriched by the iconic presence of the near-invisible Cinderella, a steam train that meanders through the region, bestowing upon the club a certain ineffable charm. The essence of the place is captured in its pristine landscape, immerging golfers in a calm ambiance infused with the spirit of authentic Scottish golf, far removed from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Immaculately architected by James Braid, a preeminent golf course designer, Brora Golf Club manifests as an emblematic 18-hole links course. Unpredictable wind conditions seaside, fast-rolling fairways, cleverly situated bunkers, and the presence of roaming livestock – a historical tradition – contribute to its unique challenge. The brilliance of each hole and the versatility required to conquer them undeniably make Brora a treasure for amateur and professional golfers alike. Delight in the challenge of the wild 6th hole, a par-3 known as 'The Plateau', with its deceptive undulations or the riveting par-4 13th hole, aptly named 'Snake', providing both a physical and a psychological test. Completing a round at Brora is an exhilarating yet serene experience, followed by the invitation to relish in the amenities of the comforting clubhouse. Unwind over a well-deserved drink or savor the authentic, locally sourced Scottish cuisine while appreciating the panoramic course views. Exceptional service and hospitality, from the warm and knowledgeable staff, reflect the club’s characteristic dedication to delivering a sublime experience. Golfers often find themselves recounting their adventures on the fairways and greens, over a hearty meal or a glass of fine scotch. A trip to Brora Golf Club culminates not just as a sporting pursuit, but as an immersive journey into the quintessence of Highland golf culture.
