This golf course like many others in the area is vastly overpriced, and clubhouse and staff bordering on pure snobbery. The club now seems to cater mainly for well off visitors. IF YOU ARE NOT ACTUALY PLAYING THE COURSE THERE IS NO CATERING OR SERVICE. MEMBERS AND PLAYING VISITORS ONLY.

From the moment I drove, for the first time in August 2023, across the bridge I knew I was into something special. Single track road to the course across the whole island was worth the visit alone. I was greeted by the usual welcoming staff that you only find in Ireland. Played with a couple of guys from the 'North' who, familiar with the course, really looked after me, cost me a round in the ba...

Tralee may have the most breath-taking coastline in Ireland which results in a backdrop to the golf course that is extraordinary. Teeing off the first you are already anticipating getting to the second hole to absorb the coastline. The first is a nice opener but no-one really gives it much thought, “let’s get to the coast as soon as possible”. What awaits at the second hole is one of the best an...

My second visit after the first some years ago I was keen to return, and again had a thoroughly adventurous and enjoyable game. The course is not too penal but makes demands on your game especially around the greens. This region has some really great courses and the people are extremely friendly even to Australians. Brora is a must play in your lifetime of golf.

First impressions were of a rough and ready local course They are working at improvements on a number of holes and I can imagine in a year or so this course will step up to a level where those who love links golf will be rushing to play Our caddies were local members who made our day only the better and I can safely say if you are in the area don’t miss playing this course

Initially you think basic, tight and gorse everywhere BUT the course has some wonderfully varietal holes intermingled with good but not inspiring holes and THE VIEWS from most holes are terrific. The gorse is present but not nearly as much as it first seemed. The fairways when we played were recovering from a drought and we all agreed we would be very happy to return for some fun golf and a welco...

A huge surprise! Staying at Dornoch we decided to play all the local courses as well as the top shelf rated ones and they just kept delighting our group At Golspie you had to be on your game especially on at least half the holes to avoid bad scoring The outlook from the clubhouse was sublime and a great day was had in mostly sun with plenty of wind.
