Castle Stuart Golf Links near Inverness is a highly acclaimed new addition to the historic Highlands of Scotland. Opened in 2009, the course is set on the Moray Firth and affords striking views of the Kessock bridge and Chanonry Lighthouse.
The development was conceived by Mark Parsinen, the man behind Kingsbarns Golf Links to Fife near St. Andrews. Set on 425 acres and with a small resort set to open, Castle Stuart Golf Links plays up to 7,009 yards, and was co-designed by Parsinen and Gil Hanse.
Castle Stuart will offer some serious competition to both Royal Dornoch and Nairn when it comes to attracting visiting golfers in the future but that can only be a good thing for the Highlands where they seem determined to raise the golfing bar of excellence as high as possible.
