Muir of Ord Golf Club

Muir of Ord, Highland, Scotland

Muir of Ord Golf Club is an 18-hole heathland course located in Easter Ross, Scottish Highlands, approximately 11 miles from Inverness. The course occupies a landscape carved by ancient glaciers, featuring greens set among heathland and moorland with views of Ben Wyvis to the north and Beauly Firth to the south. Originally established with nine holes in 1875, the course was extended to a full 18 holes by renowned Scottish golf architect James Braid in the 1920s, who praised its "fine situation." The club celebrates over 150 years of golf history and is recognized as part of the Association of James Braid Courses. The course presents moderate difficulty suitable for golfers of various abilities. A distinctive characteristic is the Inverness to Wick railway line that dissects the course. The 12th hole is notably challenging, featuring a par 3 with woodland left, thick heather right, a greenside bunker, and a dry ditch crossing the fairway, described as one of the toughest par 3s in northern Scotland. The course is known for wildlife, including red kites soaring above fairways. Muir of Ord was awarded Scottish Golf Club of the Year in 2016.
