Welcome to Durness Golf Club

Durness Golf Club Best 9 Hole Golf Course in Scotland 2025

If you have been on the North Coast 500, we lie right on this famous route 57 miles north west of Lairg; with the closest main airport south east of us at Inverness.

Designed by three local golf enthusiasts – Lachie Ross, Ian Morrison and Francis Keith – and opened in 1988, Durness Golf Club nestles on Scotland’s north coast and is Britain’s most north westerly golf course on the mainland. We are a 9 hole links, but with a second set of tees that provides a fine 18 hole experience, set against some of the most stunning landscape backdrops you will see in the golfing world.

EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS

If your idea of finding a golf course involves an adventure, remoteness, turquoise ocean & sandy beaches then Durness GC could well be the golf experience you have been looking for. Recently voted in 2020 by Golf Magazine USA – in its first ever World’s Top 50 / 9 Hole Courses (12th) and in Golf World UK’s Top 100 Courses 2021 in GB and Ireland (65th) – your unforgettable golf journey can now begin.

“The northern delights started at the Durness course, where Penn giggled at an opening hole that played like the first stage of an alpine ascent, with a fairway that might have come with carabiners… the closing par 3 over ocean spray to a green shelved atop black rocks was a stunning finisher, and making two there sent us down the coast from Durness at a gallop.”

As another fantastic weekend of golf comes to a close, we’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who travelled to Durness Golf Club and supported our Open competitions.

It was great to welcome so many familiar faces alongside first-time visitors, and we hope you all enjoyed your time on our unique links course.

A special thank you goes to the team at Cafe Nineteen who looked after everyone so well throughout the weekend. Their hard work, great food and warm hospitality helped make the experience even more enjoyable for players and visitors alike.

Congratulations once again to all of our prize winners, and thank you to everyone who took part. We hope you had a safe journey home and look forward to welcoming you back to Durness again soon.

It was an absolute pleasure! Glad everyone enjoyed their weekend! 🥰⛳️

The ladies Cafe Nineteen went way overboard to help some of my clients with takeaway food after a very late nine a couple of Sundays ago. They are the best
