Highland Tour: Match vs Muir of Ord GC

Match vs the club

“A Scottish gem in James’ Braid’s course design Crown” – Muir of Ord GC is just 11 miles from Inverness. The impressive 18-hole golf course, with greens set among heathland and moorland, the course boasts clear views of Ben Wyvis to the north and Beauly Firth to the south.

Now celebrating 150 Years of Glorious Golf – the story of the Muir of Ord Golf Club is intrinsically woven into the area’s history. The golf course itself is part of the local landscape and is as sought out now by enthusiastic golfers as it was when it’s first nine holes were planned out back in 1875. It was lengthened to a full 18-holes by legendary golf course architect James Braid in 1925. It has changed little over the years – although in 1996 it was extended from 4853 to 5596 yds from the back tees.

It wasn’t really surprising that Muir of Ord Golf Club was voted Scottish Golf Club of the Year in 2016. This is a golfing haven that has everything going for it, from its unique, challenging course to its convenient location; its friendly, welcoming members and staff; and its positive associations with some of the golfing greats of past and present.

This delightful event, which is an extra to the Tour this year, is an honour for the JBGS as we are invited to celebrate The Muir of Ord’s 150th anniversary with their members. This 12 a-side match will be a very special occasion.
Meet in golf attire at 10.30am – tee times from 1104am. The format of the day is a 4Fourball Better Ball match for ladies and gentlemen against the club. The event fee is £65 to include golf, after golf drinks and a 2 course meal (jacket and tie). This event is limited to 12 golfers.
