Are you the owner of Tarbat Golf Club?
Paul, the organiser, would like to share some important details with the sports community about Tarbat Golf Club, also known as Portmahomack Golf Club. Located in the village of Portmahomack in Tain, Highland, Scotland, this links-style course on the Dornoch Firth shore offers a unique golfing experience suitable for all skill levels.
Conveniently located just nine miles from the main A9 Inverness-Wick route, which is part of the "North Coast 500" – a renowned circular route around the Scottish Highlands – the club is easily accessible. The towns of Tain and Dornoch are nearby, with Inverness only 40 miles away.
Facing westward, Portmahomack Golf Club offers golfers stunning sunset views. The 9-hole course, with its undulating terrain and tight greens, provides a challenge for seasoned players, while the generous fairways cater to social and holiday golfers. The views of the Dornoch and Moray Firths enhance the overall experience, making it truly memorable.
Paul emphasises the importance of booking a tee time, especially now. Members' competition days are Saturdays and Wednesdays, though there is usually access even on these days. Equipment is available for those who need it, and there is the option to hire a buggy. Groups are welcome, and no handicap certificate is required, but it is best to check availability in advance.
After a round of golf, players and guests can visit the "Tee Up" Café clubhouse and bar, which offers a variety of meals and snacks. With its friendly local atmosphere, the clubhouse provides a pleasant place to relax. Non-golfers are also welcome, although booking is recommended during weekends. The village of Portmahomack offers other dining options such as the Castle Hotel, the Carnegie Cafe, and The Oystercatcher restaurant, which requires bookings.
For those wishing to extend their stay, the area offers various holiday rental properties, available on websites like Portmahomack.org and Air B'N'B.
In summary, Paul describes Tarbat Golf Club as a gem of Northern Scotland. Its picturesque setting, challenging yet accessible course, and welcoming clubhouse make it a must-visit for golfers. The beauty of the Scottish Highlands surrounding it promises an unforgettable experience.
