Muir of Ord Golf Club is a typical heathland/moorland course which has steadily improved and lenghtened throughout the years. It is now 5542 from the Medal tees, 5229 from the white tees and 5128 from the ladies. Party laid out by James Braid, the course dates from 1875 and is divided into two by the Inverness to Wick railway line. With play increasing over the course, the crossing of the busy road became such a hazard that three new holes were opened, making the two very short par 3 holes redundant. This led to a new 9th hole, which previously shared a fairway with the 8th hole. This also created a new 10th and 11th hole, while the 2 redundant holes have been turned into practice holes for the juniors, with funding from Club Golf.
