Brora Golf Club
Brora Golf Club
Brora Golf Club is the very definition of a hidden gem — a James Braid links in the remote Sutherland village of Brora, designed in 1923, where sheep still graze the fairways and electric fences protect the greens from the local cattle. This is golf at its most elemental: no driving range, no GPS, no GPS-equipped caddies, just 18 beautifully natural holes between the mountains and the sea.
Brora's charm lies in its complete authenticity. The course has barely changed since Braid laid it out, and its raw simplicity is a refreshing counterpoint to the engineered complexity of modern resort courses. Played in combination with the drive along the A9 through some of Scotland's most dramatic scenery, a round at Brora is one of those golf experiences that stays with you for a lifetime.
