| The course lies out on a narrow peninsula named Chanonry Point, just north of Inverness, jutting out into Rosemarkie Bay protecting the entrance to the Moray Firth. The road to the lighthouse divides the course in two, with just enough land either side to accommodate a 5,881-yard long golf course. What it lacks in yardage is more than made up for with its small, subtle greens, strategic bunkering, dense island gorse, several blind approaches and the proximity of the sea at nearly half the holes. |
