Balnagask Golf Course

Two courses ideal for beginners and the more experienced

View of Balnagask golf course, overlooking the harbourBalnagask Golf Course is a challenging coastal course with many hills, situated within a nature conservation area on the small Balnagask Headland which is packed with at least 18 historical and archaeological sites including the lighthouse built in 1833 and designed by Robert Stevenson. The adjacent 9 hole pitch and putt is a good choice for beginners or those wanting a quick game. All holes are par 3, but due to the hilly location are still quite challenging and good for practicing your short game.
