Ullapool Golf Club
Ullapool
Set on the shores of Loch Broom in the northwest Highlands, Ullapool Golf Club offers one of the most scenic and remote golf experiences in Scotland. With views stretching across the loch to the surrounding mountains, every hole feels like you’re playing in the middle of a postcard.
The 9-hole course (played as 18 tees) measures just over 5,500 yards and makes full use of the natural terrain. Fairways follow the contours of the land, with elevation changes, natural rough and coastal breezes all influencing play. It’s not long, but it’s far from straightforward — especially when the wind picks up off the water.
What makes Ullapool stand out is the setting and atmosphere. It’s quiet, unspoilt and completely relaxed, with that proper Highland feel where golf is as much about the experience as the score. There’s no rush, no crowds — just great scenery and enjoyable golf.
It’s a perfect stop if you’re travelling the North Coast 500 or exploring the west coast of Scotland. A brilliant addition to a Highlands itinerary if you want something a bit different from the more famous links courses.

About The Area
Ullapool is a small harbour town on Scotland’s northwest coast, offering one of the most remote and scenic golf bases in the Highlands. Set on the shores of Loch Broom and surrounded by dramatic mountains and rugged coastline, it’s the kind of place where the journey is just as memorable as the golf.
The local course is Ullapool Golf Club, a charming 9-hole course perched on a hillside overlooking the loch. The layout features undulating fairways, natural terrain and elevated tees that provide sweeping views across the water and surrounding peaks. It’s a true Highland experience — informal, scenic and shaped by the landscape rather than heavy design. Wind and elevation changes play a big role, making club selection key despite the course’s modest length.
Golf in Ullapool is best enjoyed between May and September, when daylight hours are long and conditions are more favourable. Summer brings those classic Highland evenings where you can play late into the day with barely anyone else on the course.
Off the course, Ullapool is all about nature and atmosphere. The town has a lively harbour feel with seafood restaurants, pubs and live music, especially in the summer months. It’s also a key stop on the North Coast 500, making it ideal for a road-trip-style golf itinerary. Nearby, the surrounding Highlands offer hiking, wildlife spotting and some of Scotland’s most dramatic landscapes.
For golfers seeking a remote, scenic and authentic Highland experience — where golf is just one part of a bigger adventure — Ullapool delivers one of Scotland’s most memorable and atmospheric golf escapes.
