With No Laying Up’s Tourist Sauce returning to Scotland, there’s no better time to revisit one of the Highlands’ most special golf courses — Brora Golf Club.
In this short from Linked by Golf, Brora’s Director of Golf Gary Dingwall explains what makes this James Braid links such an extraordinary place to play.
Gary talks about:
The James Braid design and how remarkably little Brora has changed
Maintaining the links with just four full-time greenkeepers
The incredible natural fescue turf and drainage
Why you can feel completely alone on the course, even when it’s busy
How Brora uses its natural landscape rather than simply length to challenge golfers
Why 6,200 yards can play completely differently from one day to the next
Hitting driver and 7-iron into a hole that, two days later, was driver and a pitch
If No Laying Up and Tourist Sauce have you dreaming about a Scottish golf trip, this is a brilliant insight into what makes Brora and traditional Highland links golf so special.
