Extra info
The Dornoch club, with great foresigh, constructed a second course in the early part of the twentieth century and although much of it was lost during the war a 9 hole course was reinstated and the eighteen hole course redesigned by eminent architect, Donald Steel.
The Struie, although shorter than its older neighbour, is a fine test of golf requiring accurate shotmaking. As with most links, it is flat and easy to walk around but the narrow fairways and thick whin bushes can ruin many a score. The greens are the equal of those on the "big" course but their lesser size may cause some heartache before the round is over. A fine course for beginners or the more experienced, it is a jow to play when you want a relaxing round of golf.
From the course there are excellent views across the Firth to Tain and the Struie Hill.
