Royal Dornoch Prints

The 17th, Valley, on the Highland links where Donald Ross learned the game.

Linda Hartough painted Royal Dornoch's 17th, Valley, from its high tee with the coast in view. For golfers who know Pinehurst, it is a picture of where Donald Ross's ideas began.

The Championship Course lies along the shore of the Dornoch Firth, on a shelf of links land between the beach and a ridge of gorse. Its greens are its signature: many sit on natural plateaus, with slopes falling away on several sides, so that a slightly weak or wayward approach runs off into hollows. The pattern traveled. Donald Ross was born in Dornoch, learned the game there and served as the club's professional before emigrating to the United States in 1899, and the raised, crowned greens he later built at Pinehurst and elsewhere trace back to this links.

Choosing a Royal Dornoch print

It is a canvas giclée at 12"x20" or 21"x36", in limited editions and artist proofs. It pairs naturally with a Pinehurst No. 2 print.

The prints

#17 Royal Dornoch

Set high above the Dornoch Firth, the iconic par-4 17th dazzles with sweeping coastal views and ever-present winds that add complexity to every shot. Players must thread a tee shot between heather and artful bunkering to reach a narrow fairway, then face a demanding uphill approach to a sloping green framed by the wild Scottish landscape.
