Forgotten Greens of Scotland
Forgotten Greens of Scotland

Orbost Hotel, Isle Of Sky.

Orbost Golf Club. Orbost House was leased as an hotel early in the 1930’s, and the lessees laid out a 9-hole golf club. However, when Skye at the outbreak of the second World War, like many other places in the west of Scotland, was declared a prohibited military zone, the hotel more or less was forced to shut down, and the course was never revived.

No entries appear in any Annuals.

Harry Ward is a respected golf historian known for his detailed research into the origins and development of the game, particularly in Scotland. His work explores the early courses, players, and traditions that shaped modern golf, bringing to life the stories behind iconic venues and figures. Through careful study and a passion for the sport’s heritage, he helps preserve golf’s rich history for future generations.

All of this work is independently funded out of his own pocket. If you value preserving golf’s history and would like to support his ongoing research, any contribution—no matter how small—would be greatly appreciated.
