Golf Courses
Opened in June 1996, the championship length parkland course at Loch Ness has earned a reputation as being an excellent test of golf for players of all abilities. Although you will find generous fairways and large greens, there is no shortage of challenges - not least on the putting surfaces that have been described as some of the best in the Highlands.

The construction of the 9-hole par 29 Family Course coupled with a reduction in the length of the main course opens up the facility to more young people, beginners, ladies and senior golfers who found the existing layout a little challenging.

That is not to say that the existing layout has disappeared. Clever design of the new holes incorporating the old course and using areas that were out of play means that should the need arise the Old course is available for play at any time.

Driving Range
Opened in 1989, the Fairways floodlit driving range features two ball machines, has 20 covered bays - and is regarded as one of the best practice facilities in the region. The target area is large and varied with many different options for constructive practice. Every bay lists the exact distances to each target so you can really analyse your game.

Other Activities
Even though we are known for superb hospitality and a friendly welcome, Fairways is more than just a golf course. We also offer a range of activities for all the family to enjoy.

Similar to the game of bowls in concept, the game of Pétanque is played with metal boules over level but ‘rough’ ground. Formed in 1997, the Inverness Pétanque Club’s 6-lane piste is one of the best in the Highlands. Non-members can hire all the equipment from Fairways.

Inverness and District Indoor Bowling Club have sited their 6-lane rink adjacent to the club. For information or bookings please call 01463 235 550 or email Bowling.IADIBC@btopenworld.com

Woodland Trails provide a great pastime for non-golfers - with no fewer than three forest walks ranging from 1.8km to 3km in length. Starting from the clubhouse, each affords stunning views of the City, the Moray Firth – and the surrounding countryside. All walks are on pathways or tracks, which in some parts are suitable for disabled people and wheelchair users.
Petanque
Open: 7 days, 8am-11pm.
 
Travel Directions: On the south side of Inverness.
