Orkney Golf Club

Hole 4 at Orkney Golf Club sets the tone for the round: a par 3 that plays downhill alongside an out of bounds wall, with views across to Kirkwall and St Magnus Cathedral. That kind of setting — open, exposed, historically framed — runs through all 18 holes of this semi-private course in Orkney, Scotland. Opened in 1902, the layout spans 5,407 to 5,999 yards and moves through heather, gorse, bunkers, and ditches, with out of bounds in play throughout. The course hosted the Island Games Orkney 2025 and received the Spirit of Golf Volunteer Award 2026. Practice facilities include an outdoor net and three-bay practice net facility, an indoor and outdoor putting green, and a dedicated short game area. The upper-floor lounge and bar serves soft drinks, wine, beer, spirits, tea, and coffee, with soup and sandwiches available on competition days.
