Nestled along the iconic North Coast 500 in the far north-west Scottish Highlands, Durness Golf Club holds the distinction of being mainland Britain’s most north-westerly golf course.

Opened in 1988 and celebrated as one of Scotland’s finest 9-hole links courses, its clever dual-tee layout offers a rewarding 18-hole experience set against breathtaking 360-degree views of rugged mountains, turquoise waters, and the white sands of Balnakeil Bay.

Whether you are navigating the sweeping fairway alongside Loch Lanlish or taking on the unforgettable signature 9th/18th par-three across a dramatic Atlantic sea inlet, Durness delivers an unhurried, warm Highland welcome and a truly bucket-list coastal golfing adventure.
