Golf - Local Courses Fort William Golf Course Fort William Golf Course sits in the shadow of Ben Nevis, Britain's highest mountain amid breathtaking Highland scenery. A heathland course which measures 6217 yards from the championship tees and has a mixture of testing holes from the 548 yard 4th to the 110 yard and 125 yard short holes at the 3rd and 6th. The 6th hole is perhaps the jewel in the course - a wide inviting green wrapped around by a Highland burn, trees surrounding the hole and trouble if you are short! Visitors are made especially welcome - no handicap certificates are required and very often no need to book tee times. Come along and enjoy the challenge. Spean Bridge Golf Course Spean Bridge is a small but challenging 9 hole course situated on the east side of the village. The club was formed in the 1950's by local veterans of the 2nd World War, who designed and built the original course. All the maintenance and course development is still carried out by the members today. The course provides excellent views of the surrounding mountains including Ben Nevis and the Commando Memorial Monument that stands at the North side of the village. Turn right at the hotel in the centre of the village when heading North. Established early 1950's. Resipole Golf Course A new 9 hole course using the natural contours and hazards of the terrain in the West Highlands. A well maintained course with superb views in all directions. The lounge bar situated at the first tee offers refreshments and good food in comfortable surroundings. Kyle of Lochalsh Golf Course The golf course in Kyle was opened in 1930 and covered most of the area called the Plock of Kyle. It was laid out mainly over the peat bog and rock with the smaller greens situated on the harder ground. The advent of the 2nd World War saw the course turned into a training ground for the forces and it was not until the 1960's that golf was played again albeit on a much smaller course. Between then and the mid 80's the course fell into disuse and during this time there were 2 failed attempts to resurrect it. In 1985 local man, Kenny MacLeod designed the layout that is in use today, featuring 8 par 3's and 1 par 4 and the course has survived due to the efforts of local volunteers. Balls are swallowed by the soft ground in wet weather and preferred lies operate most of the year. Holes 1 to 8 are the par 3's containing a lot of short iron shots from elevated tee's, requiring good judgement, especially when the wind blows. The 9th is a short par 4, just over 240 yards long with a 200 yard carry over the soft ground to reach the hill leading up to the green. Generally the course is quite tight but doesn't take long to play, although a good stock of balls is a must. The final view from the course is of the island of Skye and when seen at sunset can be breathtaking. The course has been featured in golfing magazines since the 1930's and players of all standards will appreciate this wee gem.
