Nairn’s
greens are renowned for their quality and speed. Andrew Simpson
laid out the original course in 1887 which was then extended
to a plan by Old Tom Morris. The present layout owes most to
James Braid who made major improvements to create a course of
championship standards.
The
links stretches out along the Moray Firth offering a very rewarding
but extremely tough test to every standard of golfer. With a
traditional links feel, meaning the first nine holes play away
from the clubhouse with the back nine coming home. Every hole
is memorable and there is no weakness to the links.
Plenty of gorse and bunkers and distracting views over the Moray
Firth to the highlands this links is no push over. Quality iron
shots are demanded to score well and with the putting surfaces
lightening fast and probably the best greens you will experience
anywhere, your putter will have to be hot.
