Golfers are surprised to find out that Nairn’s championship layout provides ocean views from every single hole, a rarity given the dunes and low-lying links land in Scotland. More than just the views, however, is the splendid terrain for golf, strategically peppered with bunkers and green complexes meticulously located and maintained. At 20th in Scotland, there is no doubt Nairn is overlooked given its tough competition in the country, but those who visit will find one of the more special golf courses in the world.
