One of Scotland's most famous traditional links courses, Royal Dornoch Championship Links lies in the Scottish Highlands. An Old Tom Morris design from the 19th century, there is evidence of golf being played on these grounds dating back to 1616. This was also the club where renowned golf course architect Donald Ross grew up, learning the trade he would later take to the United States. Playing Dornoch offers a glimpse into where Ross got his crowned green style he's become famous for at courses like Pinehurst No. 2. -- Brandon Tucker

- I played 6 rounds on my trip to Scotland including the Old and New Courses at St Andrews and Cruden Bay and while Dornoch may not have the "magic" of the Old Course it makes up for it with the golf. The course is a stern test, but very fair and gives a great insight into the mind of Donald Ross (Dornoch's native son). The front nine is tremendous and the back nine is even better. There is a laid back atmosphere at the course, the hotel and the town in general which is refreshing for such an elite course. I cannot give a higher recommendation tan I give Royal Dornoch
