Isle Of Skye Golf Club
Isle of Skye
Set on the shoreline at Sconser on the Isle of Skye, this is one of the most scenic and unique golf courses in Scotland. With views across the Sound of Raasay and towards the dramatic Cuillin mountains, Isle of Skye Golf Club offers a round that’s as much about the setting as the golf itself.
The 9-hole course (played as 18 tees) measures just under 6,000 yards and follows the natural contours of the coastal landscape. Fairways run alongside the water, with elevation changes, uneven lies and ever-changing coastal winds shaping how the course plays. It’s not about power — it’s about adapting to the conditions and enjoying the challenge.
What makes this course stand out is the location. You’re playing on one of Scotland’s most iconic islands, surrounded by rugged coastline, mountains and open skies. It feels remote, peaceful and completely different to mainland golf — the kind of place where every round feels like an experience.
Facilities are simple and in keeping with the setting, but that’s part of the charm. This isn’t a polished resort — it’s authentic Highland golf in one of the most beautiful locations in the UK.
Perfect for those exploring the Isle of Skye or travelling the west coast, it’s a genuine bucket-list round that adds something completely different to a golf itinerary.

About The Area
Lochcarron is a small Highland village set on the shores of Loch Carron, offering one of the most peaceful and scenic golf experiences in Scotland. Tucked between mountains and sea lochs on the west coast, it’s a destination where the surroundings completely take over — quiet, dramatic and properly off the beaten path.
The local course is Lochcarron Golf Club, a traditional 9-hole Highland layout that sits right alongside the water. The course is full of character, with natural fairways, uneven lies and minimal interference from modern design. It’s short on paper, but the mix of elevation, wind and quirky terrain keeps it interesting. The real standout, though, is the setting — views across the loch and towards the surrounding peaks make it one of those rounds you remember long after the scorecard’s forgotten.
Golf here is best between May and September, when the days are long and the weather is more forgiving. In summer, you can play well into the evening with barely anyone else around — just you, the course and the scenery.
Off the course, Lochcarron is all about exploring the Highlands. The famous Bealach na Bà mountain pass is just nearby and offers one of the most dramatic drives in Scotland. The village is also a great base for visiting the Isle of Skye, while walking, wildlife spotting and photography are all part of the experience.
For golfers who want something raw, remote and completely different from the usual resort trip, Lochcarron delivers a proper Highland escape — simple golf, incredible views and total peace and quiet.
