Cameron Course
Nairn Golf Club
About this course
# Nairn Golf Club – Cameron Course Nairn Golf Club's Cameron Course sits on the Moray Firth coast near Inverness, occupying classic Scottish links terrain of firm turf, natural rough, and gorse-lined fairways. The course takes its name from the Cameron family, whose historical association with the club reflects the deep roots of golf in this northeast Highland community. The routing moves across open, undulating ground with views toward the Firth, and the design emphasizes strategic placement and shot-making over length—typical of traditional Scottish links architecture. The course shares the Nairn estate with the club's Championship Course, which has hosted significant amateur and professional tournaments. The Cameron layout offers a more accessible alternative routing while maintaining the character of genuine links golf: firm greens that reward precision, wind-exposed holes that demand course management, and natural hazards of rough and gorse rather than water or bunkers. The setting is quintessentially Highland—windswept, open to the elements, and relatively undeveloped, preserving the austere beauty of the Moray coast. Nairn's membership has long drawn from the professional and business communities of Inverness and the surrounding region, and the club maintains the traditions of Scottish golf culture, including a dining room overlooking the links. The Cameron Course serves both members seeking a full day's golf and visitors exploring the rich concentration of links courses in the Highlands and Moray.

Getting there
The journey to Nairn Golf Club begins at Inverness Airport (INV), a compact highland gateway situated roughly twenty miles southwest of the club, followed by a drive of thirty to forty minutes that carries you northeast through the Scottish moorlands and into the coastal reaches of the Moray Firth. The final approach descends gently toward the Firth itself, where the landscape opens to reveal the Nairn seafront and the club's dignified stone clubhouse perched above the links - a transition from inland heather to salt-tinged air that signals arrival at one of Scotland's most revered and private golfing sanctuaries. For those traveling by private aviation, Inverness Aerodrome accommodates smaller aircraft with characteristic Highland discretion, shortening the final transfer to mere minutes.
