Helmsdale Community Golf Club

Helmsdale Community Golf Club is a small nine-hole course in the coastal village of Helmsdale on the far north Sutherland coast, a village known for its salmon river and its poignant clearance history. The course reflects the spirit of community golf in the Scottish Highlands — modest in scale but deeply embedded in local life, offering residents and visiting golfers an unpretentious and scenic game on the edge of the North Sea. The setting alone, with the hills of Sutherland rising behind and the sea ahead, provides a dramatic backdrop that courses of far greater pretension rarely match. A rewarding detour for those travelling the Caithness and Sutherland coastal route.
