Field notes
The homepage is structured around people rather than holes: Gary Dingwall, James MacBeath, Craig Sutherland, Sue Bohlmann, and David Gemmell each represent a part of the club’s daily operation. It also places the course in a wider landscape, describing the River Brora’s meeting with the North Sea and the village’s history of salt, wool, coal, and whisky. Historical sections record a 1924 James Braid plan and Peter Thomson’s 1995 visit.
