Royal Dornoch: Story of a Golf Club

Very few courses evoke the same, mystical aura as Royal Dornoch. Its remote location and rich history have combined to make Dornoch a site of pilgrimage for golfers, and it is perennially ranked as one of the Top 10 courses in the World. The earliest records suggest that golf has been played on the links at Dornoch since 1616, though it is Old Tom Morris and John Sutherland who are credited with designing the layout that exists today. A traditional out-and-back links, you are greeted with stunning, panoramic views across the Dornoch Firth from the moment that you step onto the third tee box. Aside from the natural routing, the course is renowned for its wickedly undulating green complexes, which require the full array of short game shots if you hope to scramble a par. Indeed, Tom Watson famously remarked that the hardest second shot at Dornoch was on the par three 2nd, if you missed the green! We hope you enjoy the film!
