| Description: |
The golf club in Brora was established in 1891. In 1923 James Braid, five times Open champion and prolific designer of golf courses, the most famous of which is Gleneagles, visited the course and redesigned the 18-hole layout which has stood the passing of time and remains a fair and challenging test of a true traditional links course.
Brora represents all the attributes of a traditional Scottish links, with a classic layout, an easy opening hole, and a short hole facing each cardinal point of the compass, you will have to adapt and manufacture according to whether the course is running fast or slow
"James Braid had the vision to create something of great beauty. A traditional links course. That tradition is still alive and well and growing in stature at Brora.
Here is unveiled a links where little has changed since his visit in 1923. The hummocks and hollows are especially breath taking as the sun sets.
For the connoisseur Brora is well worth the journey. Enjoy the experience."
