Born on this day in 1821 - Old Tom Morris.

In 1886, he was invited to extend Royal Dornoch from nine holes to eighteen, crafting a course that still feels as natural today as it did then.

Using the existing dunes and raised plateaus, Old Tom positioned greens on the land’s high points, creating the distinctive plateau surfaces that define the Championship Course.

Demanding approaches. Elevated targets. Miss them and the challenge only deepens.

By letting the Highlands terrain provide the defence, he left behind something timeless, unspoiled, and endlessly compelling.

A true pioneer. A lasting legacy.

The bond between Royal Dornoch and Pinehurst just keeps getting stronger!

We were thrilled to welcome Pinehurst Police Chief Glen Webb and his family during their recent holiday to the Highlands.

Honoring the historic connection forged by legendary golf architect Donald Ross, Chief Webb presented special Police Medallions to Royal Dornoch general manager Neil Hampton, Provost of Dornoch and community council chair, Catherine Macangus, and Alison Davies, chair of the Historylinks Museum.
