Frequently Asked Questions
How challenging is it to get to Westray Golf Club, and is the journey worth it for a round?
Getting to Westray is part of the adventure, typically involving a ferry or flight from Kirkwall, Orkney. We think the journey is absolutely worth it for the sheer remoteness and the unique, rugged links experience you'll find. It's a true escape from the ordinary.
What kind of golf experience can I expect at Westray Golf Club, and what makes it unique?
You're in for a proper, unpretentious links experience here, with nine holes that play differently from various tees. Expect natural contours, challenging winds, and stunning coastal views that will distract you from your score. It's golf in its purest, most elemental form.
When is the best time of year to visit Westray Golf Club for optimal playing conditions?
We recommend aiming for late spring through early autumn - May to September - for the best chance of milder weather and longer daylight hours. Be prepared for all four seasons in one day, as is typical in the Orkney Islands, but the views are spectacular no matter what.
What are the green fees like at Westray Golf Club, and is it good value for money?
Green fees at Westray are incredibly reasonable, especially considering the unique experience you're getting on such a remote island. It's fantastic value for a truly authentic Scottish links round, offering a memorable day out without breaking the bank. You'll often find an honesty box system, which adds to its charm.
What facilities are available at Westray Golf Club, and what should I bring for my round?
Don't expect a lavish clubhouse; Westray is wonderfully minimalist, often operating on an honesty box system for fees. We recommend bringing your own clubs if possible, plenty of layers for the changeable weather, and a sense of adventure - you won't find a pro shop here.
