ROYAL DORNOCH FLYING HIGH IN GOLF RANKINGS

Royal Dornoch’s Championship Course has been ranked No 2 in Scotland in the latest Golf Digest list which rated 550 courses across the country.

The course was placed behind Muirfield, but ahead of some stellar venues in the top 10, including St. Andrews Old Course (3), Trump Turnberry (4), Carnoustie  (5), Kingsbarns (6), North Berwick (7),  Trump International, Aberdeen (8), Machrihanish (9) and Royal Troon (10).

It’s another major tribute to the course after being ranked No 4 in the world this year in Golf Digest’s Top 100 courses outside the US, by a panel that includes more than 1,700 North American golfers and more than 350 international players.

The Championship Course was also recently named Number 1 in the world by a panel of industry leaders for golf reservation service golfscape.

Golfscape’s list includes eight Scottish courses, including the Old Course at St Andrews (No 6) and the Ailsa Course at Trump Turnberry (15).

In November, the Championship Course was ranked No 10 in GOLF magazine’s latest Top 100 Courses in the World list.

The Scottish course ranking is another fantastic achievement by the club which demonstrates the hard work and commitment from everyone to make the Royal Dornoch experience one to remember.
