Royal Dornoch Golf Club (Championship)

Golf has been played at Dornoch since 1616, but it was Old Tom Morris who laid out the modern course in 1886, creating the raised, contoured plateau greens that remain the course's defining feature and later influenced Donald Ross, who learned the game here before emigrating to America. Consistently ranked among the top courses in the world, Royal Dornoch's two short par 3s at the 2nd and 6th are considered among the finest anywhere, and Tom Watson famously called it the most fun he ever had playing golf.
