Executive Coach with Driver

• The Nairn Golf Club – Championship Course (Par 71 | 6,832 Yards).

  • History & Design. Founded in 1887 and originally laid out by Archie Simpson, the links was subsequently refined by Old Tom Morris, James Braid, and Ben Sayers. A storied championship venue, Nairn has hosted the 1999 Walker Cup, the 2012 Curtis Cup, and the 2021 Amateur Championship.

  • Course Description. Routed out-and-back along the Moray Firth, Nairn famously offers uninterrupted sea views from all 18 holes. The outward nine hugs the shingle beach—where out-of-bounds lurks immediately to the right—while the inward nine winds back through gorse and heather over some of the fastest, purest greens in Scotland.

  • Practice Facilities. Visitors have access to a grass-tee driving range, short-game chipping and bunker practice areas, and a large practice putting green adjacent to the clubhouse.

• Cabot Highlands – Castle Stuart Golf Links (Par 72 | 7,009 Yards).

  • History & Design. Opened in 2009 and designed by Mark Parsinen and Gil Hanse, Castle Stuart quickly ascended into the world’s top 100 courses and hosted four editions of the Scottish Open between 2011 and 2016.

  • Course Description. Set across two distinct coastal tiers overlooking the Moray Firth, Kessock Bridge, and Black Isle, the course champions strategic ground-game golf over penal rough. Generous fairways funnel toward dramatic infinity-edge greens, rewarding bold angles and creative recovery shots.

  • Practice Facilities. Cabot Highlands boasts elite, complimentary practice amenities including a manned, double-ended driving range with Titleist range balls, a dedicated short-game and bunker complex, and an expansive putting green right by the first tee.

• Royal Dornoch Golf Club – Championship Course (Par 70 | 6,754 Yards).

  • History & Design. Golf has been played over Dornoch’s links since 1616, with the club formally founded in 1877 and expanded to 18 holes by Old Tom Morris in 1886. Native son Donald Ross later incorporated its design principles into his American masterpieces, and George Duncan restored holes 6 through 11 following World War II.

  • Course Description. Consistently ranked among the top courses on the planet, Royal Dornoch is revered for its natural, unaltered links routing along Embo Beach. The hallmark of the course is its raised, inverted-saucer greens guarded by deep bunkers and closely mown run-off areas that demand crisp approach play and imagination.

  • Practice Facilities. Guests can warm up on a dedicated practice putting green and chipping area near the clubhouse, while a full-length practice ground is situated a short distance from the main links where players hit and retrieve their own balls

• Moray Golf Club – Old Course (Par 71 | 6,592 Yards).

  • History & Design. Founded in 1889 in the coastal town of Lossiemouth, the Old Course is an original Old Tom Morris design that has remained remarkably faithful to his 19th-century vision.

  • Course Description. A classic out-and-back Scottish links, Moray Old challenges golfers with firm, fast-running fairways, thick gorse, heather, and deep revetted pot bunkers. The closing stretch brings you back alongside the Moray Firth beaches, culminating in an iconic final hole played directly beneath the clubhouse windows.

  • Practice Facilities. The club offers a full-length outdoor practice ground, a dedicated short-game and bunker practice zone, and a well-paced practice putting green directly beside the clubhouse

Head north into Sutherland to experience one of Highland golf’s purest traditional links at Brora Golf Club. Enjoy warm Highland hospitality in the clubhouse before your driver returns you to Inverness or Nairn.

• Brora Golf Club (Par 70 | 6,211 Yards).

  • History & Design. Established in 1891 and redesigned in 1923 by five-time Open Champion James Braid, Brora is the spiritual home of the James Braid Golfing Society and stands as one of the finest examples of unspoiled traditional links architecture.

  • Course Description. Routed out-and-back over natural rolling dunes along the North Sea, Brora features blind tee shots, undulating fairways, and small, subtly contoured greens. True to its common-land heritage, grazing sheep and Highland cattle roam the property, with traditional single-strand electric wires encircling the greens to protect the putting surfaces.

  • Practice Facilities. Brora provides a full outdoor practice range, a dedicated chipping area, and a practice putting green conveniently positioned near the first tee.

Conclude your week of golf with a return to Cabot Highlands to play Old Petty, Tom Doak’s acclaimed Highland masterpiece.

• Cabot Highlands – Old Petty (Par 71 | 7,075 Yards).

  • History & Design. Crafted by acclaimed architect Tom Doak and opened in May 2026 as the second 18-hole championship course at Cabot Highlands, Old Petty was built on pristine coastal farmland adjoining Castle Stuart.

  • Course Description. Eccentrically routed to every point on the compass, Doak’s layout threads along a tidal estuary, winds through rolling hillsides, and plays around the historic 400-year-old Castle Stuart and the 1839 Old Petty Church. The course emphasizes artistic ground-game shot-making, natural contours, and wide playing corridors.

  • Practice Facilities. Golfers playing Old Petty enjoy full access to Cabot Highlands’ premier practice facilities, including the manned grass driving range, expansive putting green, and short-game practice complex
