Anticipation is mounting over the opening of Castle Stuart Golf Links near Inverness in northern Scotland. Aside from a championship links course, the resort will include a small luxury Hotel & Spa, 'resort-ownership' Lodges & Apartments, plus a second Seaside Course. Golf in the upper-reaches of Scotland is severely under-rated. For those that do make the journey, you will undoubtedly hear of the world-class golfing links on offer. Nearby Nairn hosted the Walker Cup in 1999, while Royal Dornoch is continually rated as one of the finest courses in the country. Tom Watson once famously quoted, "It's the most fun I've ever had on a golf course." When Castle Stuart adds to this abundance of quality links already on offer, I think we will see the Highlands of Scotland take off as a leading golf destination in it's own right - not just as a two day addition to the most popular itineraries in Fife and Ayshire. Mark Parsinen, Managing Partner of Castle Stuart Golf LLP, was also instrumental in the spectacular rebirth of Kingsbarns, 8 miles from St Andrews. If his new creation is anywhere near as successful, we could see the beginning of something special in the Scottish Highlands.
