Designers Mark Parsinen and Gil Hanse have capitalised on a majestic parcel of land to carve a golfing marvel. The spectacular setting overlooking the Moray Firth presents a memorable seascape punctuated with local landmarks such as the Kessock Bridge, Chanonry Lighthouse, Fort George and Ben Wyvis.

Castle Stuart Links is the epitome of contemporary links course architecture. Here nature bequeathed an opportunity for a links golf course to enjoy a rich landscape texture of whins, gorse and broom, heather and marram – a landscape mosaic of rugged beauty. It is a true links experience with rumpled fairways, offering changes in lie and stance; partially revetted, natural bunkers and infinity edge greens that allow the scenery and key landmarks to be put on display. 

Having played host to the Scottish Open four times since it opened in 2009 with champions including Luke Donald, Jeev Milkha Singh, Phil Mickelson and Alex Noren, Castle Stuart has become a must play when visiting the Highlands of Scotland.
