    Castle Stuart Golf Links

    Near Inverness the course is due to open from May 2009 and is set to become one of the greatest links courses in the world.  Let Morton Golf Holidays make a booking for you NOW and become one of the first golfers to play on this wonderful new links course.

    Scotland the home of golf.  As Turnberry is to Ayrshire and Gleneagles is to Perthshire, Castle Stuart will be for the Highlands - a beacon reaching out to golfers throughout the world.  The centre-piece for this Scottish destination golf resort will be Castle Stuart Golf Links, a championship links course overlooking the Moray Firth and well-known landmarks of Inverness and the Black Isle.  The resort will also include a boutique hotel, spa & health club, resort-ownership lodges & apartments, and a second seaside course.

    The Carrick

    The CarrickThe new world class 18 hole golf course "The Carrick" is located a short distance from Cameron House hotel on the banks of Loch Lomond and opened on the 1st of June 2007.

    Challenge, variety and playability have been carefully integrated into the design to ensure an exciting and enjoyable golf experience for golfers of all abilities. Multiple tee placements on each hole provide a tremendous variety in yardage ranging from 5,200 yards from the forward tees to more than 7,000 yards from the championship tees.  The course was designed by the very well known and accomplished golf course architect Doug Carrick from Canada and tee times are easily accessible. Peter Craigon highly recommends we add this wonderful new additions to your itinerary for your Scottish Golf trip.

    Machrihansih Dunes

    When Machrihanish Dunes Golf Club opens in August 2008, it will be the first golf course to be have been built on a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSi) since the days of "Old Tom" himself. It will also the first 18-hole links golf course to be built on the west coast of Scotland in 100 years.

    Set hard against the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, Machrihanish Dunes shares breathtaking views with the adjacent Machrihanish Golf Club links (ranked 44th by Golf Digest's "Top 100 Courses Outside the U.S.").

    True to The Way Golf Began, the site of Machrihanish Dunes links featured 23 "natural holes" (definition: a hole which fits so well into the natural landscape prior to construction that only minimal effort is required to ready it for play in terms of grading and shaping work). Course architect and Scotsman David McLay Kidd, who is internationally acclaimed for his design of Bandon Dunes in Oregon and the The Castle Course at St. Andrews, chose his 18 favourites to make up the inspired routing for Machrihanish Dunes. Measuring 7,300 yards, Machrihanish Dunes will also feature six greens and five tees at the ocean’s edge.

    "We followed the lie of the land and unlike most courses around the world, we did not lay out the course and make the land change with it, we designed each hole around the natural terrain," says David McLay Kidd. "For maintenance we will do a little mowing, but will mostly rely on the wandering sheep to keep the fescue in check - just like the old courses used to do. We are returning golf to how it should be played; no longer is it a gentle walk in a garden, it will be a full-fledged mountaineering expedition at this course."

    In a world with over 32,000 golf courses, the development of an authentic links course (there are only 270 in the world) on the west coast of Scotland is most unique. Machrihanish Dunes promises to be a true testament to The Way Golf Began.
