Location & Travel
The Western Isles are a chain of islands off the north west coast of Scotland. Stornoway on the island of Lewis is the largest town and has all the leisure facilities of a modern town. Although Stornoway Golf Club is the only 18-hole course on Lewis, there is a fine 9-hole course at Scarista in Harris. Additionally there is an 18 hole course at Askernish South Uist and 9-hole courses at Sollas North Uist, Benbecula and Barra that are well distributed geographically throughout the length of the islands to provide the travelling golfer a variety of challenges with scenery that will take the breath away.
Ferry Details
Stornoway is served by Caledonian Macbrayne who operate the modern roll-on/roll-off car and passenger ferry ‘Isle of Lewis’ from Ullapool, which is just one hour’s drive from Inverness. There are two or three return trips from Monday to Saturday depending on the time of year.
Ferries to the other islands sail from Uig in Skye, Mallaig and Oban. Special packages include the Island Hopscotch – a choice of pre-planned routes for cars and accompanying passengers, and the Island Rover – a runabout ticket with or without a car and which is valid for 8 or 15 days with unlimited travel on most routes.

The course at Stornoway Golf Club is set amongst the woodlands of Lews Castle and rises out of these towards the moorlands to the west of the town. An undulating landscape presents the golfer with a course that demands a keen shot-making ability and a canny judgement of distances.
What a beautiful evening they had for the final Junior & Ladies Monday sessions that have been ongoing every week since April 👏🏻
What better way to finish with a mini Greenkeepers revenge Scramble for a bit of fun and team bonding on the course 🤩
Well done to the winning team of Thomas, Lucas, Kyle, Aria and guest appearance from Millie ⛳️🏆
A big thanks to the Greenkeeping staff for the help throughout the season and the great conditions of the course, despite the challenging weather, all the volunteer coaches & helpers throughout the season and the members who were understanding on a Monday as the Juniors & Ladies took over the bottom of the course for a couple of hours.
A few of our Juniors had other commitments on Monday but plenty of promising talent on show over the season from you all, thank you for all your hard work and turning up in all seasons 🌧️ 💨 ☀️⛳️💪👏🏻
I started playing golf there a long time ago under the guidance of George Hampton. A great facility and wonderful opportunity for these young people.
It’s great to see juniors and ladies playing golf - keep it up! (I’ll cheer you all on from the sidelines 😉)

Chips with mozzarella, beef brisket, stuffing and peppercorn sauce 😍🤤
