This is one of the classic links courses of Scotland, an amalgamation of the work of Andrew Simpson, Old Tom Morris, Ben Sayers and inevitably James Braid.
The Nairn Golf Club's truly remarkable feature is that you can see the Moray Firth and the golden colouring and changing lights of the Black Isle from every hole.
The first seven are particularly stringent because a player is in danger of losing their ball in the water at any time. In fact, despite having been a scratch player, Viscount Whitelaw, Margaret Thatcher's Deputy Prime Minister, would readily admit to having done just that.
What delights the visitor and member alike is the Scottish-ness of the links. Other than a strong westerly, it leads you in gently before demanding accurate driving and precision second shots.
As three of the par-5 holes are over 530 yards long, it is a test for all. The par-4 holes tease and confound and all four short holes are cunningly angled. Yet, even more challenging than the humps and hollows that lurk in the fairways, is the trickery of the greens.
