The result is a short but testing round of golf that leaves many first time visitors eager for more. It has wonderful views of Black Isle and down to the Peffery Valley and is known for its array of natural hazards which means that very few bunkers are required.

Strathpeffer's greatest asset, however, is its opening hole featuring the longest drop from tee to green in Scottish golf. Club selection is tricky thanks to out-of-bounds on the right and behind the green.
