The Carnegie Club at Skibo Castle (The Carnegie Links)
Links Course in Dornoch, Scotland
The Carnegie Links is an 18-hole championship links course at The Carnegie Club at Skibo Castle in Scotland, located between the Dornoch Firth and Loch Evelix. A previous 9-hole course was commissioned by industrialist Andrew Carnegie in 1898. The current course, designed by Donald Steel and Tom Mackenzie with later renovations by Gary Gruber and David Thomson, opened in the mid-1990s and plays to a par of 71 with a length of approximately 6833 yards from the back tees. Known for its challenging and strategic play on firm, fast linksland, the course offers stunning views of the surrounding Highlands and water bodies. The Carnegie Club operates as a private members club, offering limited public tee times on weekdays during the summer season for golfers with a valid handicap. On-site facilities include a pro shop, driving range, putting and chipping greens, locker rooms, a restaurant, club, trolley, and cart rentals, and accommodation within the castle and lodges.
