Friends have been up in Nairn over the last week and we have taken advantage of the fine (if windy) weather to get out and play some golf.
First up was Nairn Dunbar on Tuesday evening. The wind was blowing (so strong you could not stand still in one spot!!) but we were game for it. The course is literally a 5 minute drive from Caravan 109 at Nairn Lochloy Holiday Park. They offer a twilight rate after 5.00pm so we managed to play 14 holes for £20. Not bad on a quality course like this.
On the Wednesday we decided on Lossiemouth New Course. Not so new really as it was built in 1979! The sun was shining but the wind was still blowing. The front nine was playing into the wind so the scores were not great. However the course was in fantastic condition and looked so picturesque right next to the sea. Lossiemouth is about half an hour from Caravan 109.
The final day of golf was played at a course that we had not visited before - Hopeman Golf Club which is about 20 minutes from Caravan 109 on the way to Lossiemouth. It is a beautiful little course with a spectacular back nine. The signiature hole on the 12th (Prieshach) is a par 3 with a 150 foot drop from tee to green with the Moray Firth looming on the right!! It is great links golf and not a particularly long course. This year is their centenary year!
