Founded in 1887 by Robert B Finlay who was created a Viscount in 1919 following service as Lord Chancellor in the Lloyd George government. Nairn is consistently ranked amongst the leading courses in the UK.
The Club has been very fortunate and indeed honoured to have held an array of Amateur Golf tournaments. The Club is only one of nine clubs who have held the Walker Cup, Curtis Cup and the Amateur Championship.
The Amateur Championship returned to Nairn for the second time in 2021 culminating in one of the most exciting finals in the 126th year history of the Championship. Laird Shepherd Rye GC defeating Monty Scowsill Woodbridge GC at the 38th hole having been 7 down after 18 holes.
