Durness is the most northerly golf course on mainland Britain and so is special for its remoteness which guarantees a peaceful round of golf in stunning surroundings. A trip to this corner of the country is well worth the effort as the golf course serves up a good test for all levels of player.

Although only 9 greens exist, the use of different tees for holes 10 to 18 gives a completely new challenge for the second half of the round. The 18th may be the most famous of the holes, pictured often for publishing in golf magazines or tourist brochures and featuring in "travels with Alliss" when the big man himself gave it a go, but each hole has its own unique qualities and views.

Try the 6th or 15th hole which is a par 5 dominated by the presence of Loch Lanlish where the fish jump and the ducks swim and the decision has to be made to play over the loch and hope for a birdie or play round and settle for par. Durness offers rewarding golf in friendly surroundings and in the high season snacks are available in the comfortable clubhouse. Trolley hire and clubhire are also available.
