Jon Wigget tells me that they have changed names. So now my golf hat advertises the club by the obsolete name Tarbat Golf Club.

Why the unhappy face ? You now have a collectors item !It happened with me with Southern Gailes which changed it's name (and ownership) to Dundonald.

Re: Portmahomack aka Tarbat Golf Club - Eric Terhorst revisits

Eric Terhorst tells me he is a repeat offender at Tarbat. ;) He returned there this year after having been there in 2009. He may becoming an addict as he hopes to head back in 2024.

He sent along some pictures, which I am now guessing are from 2009 instead of 2023 as I first surmised.

I have incorporated the pictures into the thread.

Garland, thanks for including my comments and pics in your excellent review of Tarbat, what a great place!


Sorry if I gave you the wrong impression--I'm hoping to get back there in 2024, did not make it to Scotland this year.  My contribution to the thread is all based on my 2009 visit.  Fingers crossed for a return visit.

In a recent post, Niall is adding Tarbat to the list of Scotland's best 9 holers.

I have another two to add to the list but first I had a revisit to Tarbat (Portmohomack) which I previously only walked. I was lucky enough to play it during the summer with a couple of GCA friends and it was as much fun as I imagined it would be. A complete antidote to the Championship courses with big green fees, welcome packs and a starter on the first tee. At Tarbat you just put your greenfee in the honesty box, tee it up and a way you go.
