Are you the owner of Muir of Ord Golf Club?
Muir of Ord Golf Club is a hidden gem nestled in the picturesque village of Muir of Ord in Easter Ross, located in the Scottish Highlands, just 11 miles from Inverness. The golf club boasts an impressive 18-hole golf course with greens set among heathland and moorland, offering stunning views of Ben Wyvis to the north and Beauly Firth to the south.
The history of Muir of Ord Golf Club can be traced back to its humble beginnings in 1875 when the first nine holes were planned out. Since then, the course has been lengthened and redesigned by legendary golf course architect James Braid in the 1920s, cementing its place in the local landscape.
Visiting Muir of Ord Golf Club is a must for any avid golfer, particularly those following the James Braid Highland Golf Trail or exploring the renowned North Coast 500 road route. The club warmly welcomes visitors, with a dedicated and hospitable management team and friendly members who take pride in showcasing the course and clubhouse.
Tee times can be conveniently booked in advance online, allowing visitors to fully enjoy the club's excellent facilities, including a bar, restaurant, small golf shop, and equipment rental services.
While playing the course, golfers will encounter unique features, such as the Inverness to Wick railway line that dissects the course and the challenging hole number 12 considered one of the toughest par 3s in the north of Scotland. This hole is characterised by woodland on the left, thick heather on the right, a greenside bunker, and a dry ditch running at an angle across the fairway.
Muir of Ord Golf Club was honoured as Scottish Golf Club of the Year in 2016, a testament to its exceptional quality and appeal. Whether you're a member or a visitor, Muir of Ord offers a memorable golfing experience for all ages and skill levels.
