Durness Golf Club is the most northerly golf course on mainland Britain and do you know what, its an absolutely mesmerizing round of golf. Situated on the North Coast, right near Cape Wrath, it’s golf as it would have been and golf as many of us want it. Designed and built by the locals, this 9 hole golf course, takes you up over the hills that time seems to have forgotten before bringing you back to the coast. As with any course this remote, isolated and northern, the elements are the masters of the courses. Hole 7, Par 3, 160 yards can be reached with a Pitch or a 3 wood depending on the wind. The 9th/18th, is by far the most famous hole straight over the Atlantic. For such a small club, hidden away from the world, its in great condition and some of the holes must rival some greats. Whatever the conditions, however badly behaved your balls are, it must be one of the most stunning golf courses where looking for your balls takes on a whole new meaning. If you ever venture up this far north, just pop in. They will even let you play the last hole - just remember to buy a tee shirt! |
