Thurso Golf Club

You better like playing in a stiff wind - because that's what you're going to get at this 18-hole golf course at the tip of the Scottish Highlands. The narrow fairways and out-of-bounds on most holes add even more difficulty.

If that weren't enough, golfers will also have to contend with gorse and heather at Thurso Golf Club, so make sure to keep it straight off the tee. Watch out for the 13^th hole. It's got rough to the right, heather to the left and a bunker standing guard in front of the green.

Thurso Golf Club is a par 69, measuring 5,853 yards from the tips.

Location: Two miles west of Thurso on B874 to Reay.
