You'll discover a surprisingly engaging layout with some tricky short holes and a few longer par 4s that demand accuracy, especially with the River Carron in play on some stretches. We particularly enjoy the challenge of the 7th, a demanding par 4 where a well-placed drive is crucial to setting up your approach. It's a proper test for its size.

When is the best time of year to visit Bonar Bridge, Ardgay for a round of golf?

We recommend visiting from late spring through early autumn - May to September - when the Scottish weather is generally milder and the days are long. You'll avoid the chillier, wetter months and get to experience the course at its most vibrant, often with fewer crowds than the more famous links. Plus, the surrounding Highland scenery is absolutely stunning then.

You'll find a friendly, no-frills clubhouse with all the essentials - a warm welcome, a place for a post-round drink, and often some local banter.
