Cawdor Castle

Cawdor Castle’s golf offering is a 9-hole course located at Cawdor Castle, near Nairn in the Scottish Highlands. Golf is one of Cawdor Castle’s attractions, alongside the traditional Scottish castle, gardens, nature trails and Cawdor Big Wood. The castle itself has been built and inhabited by the Cawdor family for over 600 years and includes an ancient medieval tower constructed around the legendary holly tree.

The website identifies the course specifically as a 9-hole layout, but does not provide hole names, pars, distances or a detailed course description. Golf is one of several activities available at Cawdor, with visitors also able to explore Cawdor Big Wood, described as an ancient oakwood. The estate includes three very different gardens: Auchindoune Gardens, Castle Gardens and the wider Cawdor Gardens.

Cawdor’s attractions include the castle grounds, gardens, nature trails and the Courtyard Café, which serves freshly prepared food using homegrown and local produce. The published admission price for the castle, gardens, grounds and nature trails is £17 for adults aged 16 and over, £15 for concessions over 60, £8.50 for children aged 6–15, and £40 for a family day pass. No separate golf fee is stated.

Cawdor Castle is at Cawdor, Nairn, IV12 5RD. For the 2026 season, the attraction is scheduled to open daily from Saturday 25 April to Sunday 4 October, 10am–5pm, with last entry at 5pm. Tickets can be booked online or purchased on arrival; the website does not specify separate booking arrangements for golf.
