Dream place and extremely difficult!
Reviewed August 4, 2023
For me, Castle Stuart is one of the best new places in the world in the last 20 years!
Mark Parsinen & Tom Doak & Gil Hanse are world class designers and have created a masterpiece with Castle Stuart!
View, location, design, difficulty - all 6 stars!
Alluding to the greens and putting on them is hard work! The round clubhouse is sensational and has the most beautiful locker room I've ever seen!
Dornoch 100 points -
Castle Stuart 99.99 points!
Sensational…!!!
The trip to the Highlands is worthwhile and every links course fanatic should have visited these courses at least once!

Fantastic links course with the beauty of a parkland course

EUR 249 green fee per person for non-Scots and no option to cancel if the weather is really bad are actually a deterrent. But once you've made your decision, you'll be rewarded all round.
The reception is already very friendly and the clubhouse is impressive, at least for men. Women tend to be disadvantaged in the changing room, while the men's changing room is almost reminiscent of an English club ;-)
Ball pyramids are available on the range. If you want to practice in the Short Game Area, you are not allowed to carry the balls there yourself, this will of course be done for the golfers.
The putting green is huge and somewhat reflects the challenges ahead. The starter is of course Scottish-friendly and also flexible. And then comes the place!!!
You start on the beach in one direction and after 3 holes you change to the next, higher level and then work your way back up to the clubhouse and after 9 holes you descend again and start in the other direction. The fairways are links-like, but wide fairways make the game easier, and the real challenges come in and around the greens. The condition is perfect everywhere, the tracks are ideally integrated into the landscape and you have the feeling that you are relatively alone on a fully booked course.
You can enjoy the space with a push trolley (included) or rent an electric trolley. Carts would be available, but are frowned upon. Caddies are also available with prior notification.
The service in the clubhouse is friendly, the drinks are good.
Conclusion: very expensive, but if, like us, you can enjoy 25°C and sun (and even without wind; yes, we were in SCOTLAND), everything is there for a really perfect day of golf! Better to do without another course, but definitely play Castle Stuart if you're around!

Also with the 2nd time ecstasy

The place is awesome. Of course, like all classics, no ALDI special discount. The culture in the clubhouse alone, where you pay for everything at the end, is special. The place is just a link with everything it takes to be happy or sad; after 18 holes. This is golf.

Is worth his money
Reviewed September 18, 2021
The course is relatively easy to play for a links course. provided you don't have strong winds. Compared to Royal Dornoch, for example, the challenges are limited. Maintenance condition was great at the beginning of September, the various holes are very varied and the view is excellent from the entire course. The clubhouse is also recommended!

Best ranking
Reviewed November 12, 2018
Castle Stuard is certainly one of the best places in Europe. High in the green fee he is still on every bucket list of a golfer. We were practically alone on the field that day, dedicated to the Scottish weather. At least 2 tracks are among our 18 dream holes in Scotland. Priceless and yet unforgettable!

Good and expensive
Reviewed September 22, 2016
Links course in modern design Championship with not ending ending difficulties around and on the greens. Anyone looking for a real challenge and can live with the horrendous Green Fee, here comes in all respects at his expense.

Very nice course left

A nice left course. Impressive landscape images and a challenging course. Comes close to Kings Barns. New modern clubhouse, WiFi, etc. and good shop. A place of value is to be played.
