Royal Dornoch Offer Free Rounds for NHS and Care Workers

Royal Dornoch Golf Club is kindly offering free rounds on both its courses to NHS and care staff for the remainder of May and all of June.

In a week when Covid-19 restrictions are further eased in most parts of Scotland, the renowned Highland venue is making the gesture for the next six weeks as a thanks for the sterling work of key health staff during the global pandemic.

The offer is also being made from Royal Dornoch in anticipation of a national ‘Thank You Day’ on 4 July, with people planning to show their appreciation to all those who have helped during the challenges of Covid-19.

The opportunity from Royal Dornoch – voted Best Golf Course in Scotland at the 2020 World Golf Awards – is open to those health staff who are currently members of a golf club and have a valid WHS handicap index.

They may have one round on each of the Royal Dornoch courses, with the Championship Course rated No. 6 in the world outside the US by Golf Digest and the Struie Course ranked in the top 50 links courses in Great Britain and Ireland.

Neil Hampton, General Manager at Royal Dornoch, said: “In recognition of the outstanding contribution of NHS and care workers to saving lives since the beginning of the pandemic, Royal Dornoch is offering free rounds on both its golf courses to NHS and care staff during the remainder of May and June. This is also timed ahead of the anticipated national ‘Thank You Day’ on 4 July.

“It has been a hugely challenging period for so many and this is our way of thanking those who have been on the front-line in the fight against Covid-19. We invite health staff from near and far to come and enjoy our wonderful links courses and look forward to giving them our friendly Royal Dornoch welcome.”

The move continues the charitable work Royal Dornoch are well renowned for, both locally and nationally. Back in February, the club maintained its support for the Scottish wildcat, one of the country’s most endangered species, after raising a further £2,840 through the support of its members.

Leading professionals also recently experienced the famed Royal Dornoch links after the club hosted Paul Lawrie’s Tartan Tour Pro event for a second time.
