About Muir of Ord Golf Club

Muir of Ord Golf Club is an 18-hole heathland and moorland course in the Scottish Highlands. Its history begins in 1875, when Alexander MacHardy, Chief Constable of Inverness-shire, helped establish a nine-hole course on land then used as a cattle stance. James Braid later extended and reshaped the course into a full 18-hole layout during the 1920s.

The current white course measures 5,542 yards and plays to par 68, with a rating of 67.5 and slope of 119. Yellow tees measure 5,229 yards and play to par 67, while the women's red course measures 5,128 yards and plays to par 70. The course is characterised by heathland and moorland vegetation, compact greens and Highland views rather than sheer length.

The course is an 18-hole heathland golf course. It plays to par 68, 5,542 yards, course rating 67.5 and slope rating 119. Designed by James Braid, the course originally opened in 1875.
