Welcome to Wick Golf Club
Founded in 1870 and located three miles north of Wick in the Highlands of Scotland, this beautiful course comes highly recommended by many a player - including Ronan Rafferty. Surrounded by spectacular scenary and picturesque coastline, there can be few courses more pleasing to the body and soul.
The club boasts a £250,000 clubhouse opened in 1994. It is looked upon as one of the best in the north, offering warm hospitality and spectacular views over the course and coastline beyond. The club house is available for private functions such as parties, wedding receptions, and corporate gatherings. Catering for such events can be arranged via the secretary.
The course is seldom crowded, green fees are moderate, and there are a number of open competitions during the year including fixtures from the Caithness Golf Week in August.

There are few bunkers on the course, but crafty use of ditches and some gentle doglegs makes the round very rewarding. Past captain John Hunter recommends two holes in particular; the fifth and the twelfth. The fifth hole measures 423 yards with a ditch crossing the fairway 250 yards from the tee. The twelfth is over 400 yards in length with the drive being the important shot to set up a second shot to the green. A narrow entrance to a bunker looms on the right and a protruding mound on the left.
