When is the absolute best time of year to play Reay Golf Course for optimal conditions?

We recommend late spring through early autumn - May to September - for the best chance of milder weather and longer daylight hours. While Scottish weather is always a gamble, these months offer the most forgiving conditions to truly enjoy Reay's exposed, coastal layout.

The stretch along the coastline, particularly the dramatic par-3 14th, is truly unforgettable; it plays right along the cliff edge with breathtaking views across the Pentland Firth. You'll also love the feeling of solitude and the panoramic vistas – it's pure, unspoiled Scottish golf at its finest.
