Play
today at Nairn (tbc), a renowned links course and venue of many major
tournaments, including the 1993 British Amateur Championship and the 1999 Walker
Cup Matches. This traditional links layout makes its way along the shore of the
Moray Firth, then returns to the clubhouse through whin and gorse
bushes.
Golf today on Royal Dornoch (tbc). You have the opportunity
to play the most northerly of the Championship courses of the British Isles.
Dornoch is perhaps more than most, a thinking golfers' course where it is not
enough simply to keep the ball on the fairway. The greens are generally open in
the front, but they are also set on plateaux several feet above the fairway, a
feature that Donald Ross took from his home course and used on many of his
classic designs. A very limited supply of golf carts are available for
hire. Certain restrictions may apply, please advise your Golf Travel Specialist.
Please note strict handicap limits are set and enforced by the club. Men 24
& Ladies 35.
Today play Castle Stuart (tbc). Due to open for play in July
2009, it is set to become an outstanding addition to the links courses of
Scotland. Set along the shores of the Moray Firth to east of Inverness with
wonderful views over to the Black Isle. Six holes hug the shoreline while the
remaining holes are played over a terraced slope so views out to sea are ever
present. A true links course in every sense.
Play the King's Course (tbc) of Gleneagles Hotel. The King's
course was the inspiration of James Braid, five time winner of the Open
championship. It opened in 1919, representing the finest 'classical' golf course
design. It is certainly one of the most beautiful and exhilarating places to
play golf in the world. With the sweeping views from the tees all around, the
rock-faced mountains to the north and the green hills to the south, and the
peaks of the Trossachs and Ben Vorlich on the western horizon.

Gleneagles Hotel, most famous of Britain's country hotels and
synonymous with excellence, is set in its own 850 acre estate, surrounded by
magnificent countryside. Renowned world-wide, the 5 star resort is famed for
many attractions, not least its three internationally celebrated golf courses
providing an unsurpassed variety of challenges and pleasures throughout their
combined 54 holes. James Braid's designed courses, the King's and Queen's, have
themselves become legendary. The addition of the Signature Nicklaus design PGA
Centenary Course has greatly enhanced the reputation of their premier golf
resort and will play host to the Ryder Cup in 2014. The hotel opened in 1924 and
over the years the King's has hosted numerous major events, including the first
ever professionals' match between Britain and America in 1921, the forerunner of
the Ryder Cup. Some of the finest shooting and fishing in Britain is readily
available in almost all conceivable sporting forms. The new Spa by ESPA has been
designed by award winning interior designer Amanda Rosa. Every aspect of the
unique and tranquil space enhances the therapeutic ESPA treatments. The calming
relaxation rooms and the spacious, naturally lit courtyard allow you to rest
your body and mind pre and post treatment. Each of the hotel's restaurants has
its own style, but the hallmark of all is the use of the finest fresh produce
available locally in Perthshire and Scotland, as well as from specialist
suppliers around the world. The Strathearn is a grand restaurant, serving the
finest Scottish dishes. Deseo serves Mediterranean cuisine in a relaxed,
informal environment while Andrew Fairlie at Gleneagles, the only 2 Michelin
star restaurant in Scotland, provides the ultimate fine dining experience where
the cuisine is unashamedly French but with a Scottish twist. Unrivaled cuisine
and luxury accommodation combine with the outdoor facilities to ensure
Gleneagles continues it's reputation as one of the greatest establishments of
its kind in the world.
From its delightful setting on the sheltered shores of the Moray
Firth, overlooking the mystical Black Isle, the Golf View is ideally situated in
the Scottish Highlands, only twenty minutes from Inverness Airport. The Nairn
Championship Golf Course is only a par four from the hotel gardens which extend
all the way to the beach. The hotel offers a wide range of amenities which
contribute to its four star rating as well as making it one of the finest First
Class Hotels in the Highlands. The friendly and attentive standards of service
along with extensive table d'hote and a la carte menus make the Golf View a
hotel to remember.
