Muir of Ord Golf Club

In the mists of time ancient glaciers carved a great flat plain across what is now the area around the village of Muir of Ord in Easter Ross, in the Scottish Highlands, just 11 miles from Inverness. Where once there was an expanse of gravel and sand, there is now an impressive 18-hole golf course, greens set among heathland and moorland, red kites soaring above the fairways, with clear views of Ben Wyvis to the north and Beauly Firth to the south. The story of the Muir of Ord Golf Club is intrinsically woven into the area’s history, the golf course itself a part of the local landscape – as sought out now by enthusiastic golfers as it was when it’s first nine holes were planned out back in 1875, and subsequently lengthened into a full 18-holes by legendary golf course architect James Braid, in the 1920s.

Muir of Ord is a village in Easter Ross, in the Highland council area of Scotland. It is situated near the western end of the Black Isle, about 9 miles west of the city of Inverness and 5+1⁄2 miles south of Dingwall. The village has a population of 2,840 and sits 35 metres above sea level.
