Muir of Ord Golf Course

With the addition of five new holes in recent years, Muir of Ord Golf Club is now home to one of the highland's most enjoyable golf courses.

A heathland course with tight fairways that is known for its well-conditioned greens it presents a fun test.

The course is dissected into three sections by way of the Inverness to Wick railway line, giving it a unique appeal.

Back to back par-3s, the 12th and 13th, offer tricky but very different tests, with the 12th needing a well struck long-iron, and the 13th a high flighted wedge.

Founded in 1875 it has been developed in parts by James Braid and much of his work is still in existence today. It has a tough stretch of closing holes, including the difficult par-4 18th, which is played to a raised green, where out of bounds awaits errant shots.
