The Course: Overview
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.
A good variety of up and down hill holes presented with some blind greens, mixed with a sprinkling of dog-legs makes the course a recipe for golfing triumphs and disasters in equal measure.
The combination of trees, heather and gorse make the course a picturesque one in its own right. On the higher parts of the course, however, the views are magnificent. Over the town, across Broad Bay, Tong and beyond to the mainland to the north-east. To the south across the moors and beyond to the mountains of Harris.
Detailed descriptions of individual holes may be found on this website, but you have to play it for yourself to really appreciate the intricate challenges this course offers.
Stornoway Golf Club offers only one guarantee, a memorable round of golf with a warm welcome.
Western Isles County Championship 2026
An unexpected sunny day in Stornoway yesterday saw nearly 80 competitors in the Mens, Ladies and Junior Western Isles County Championship
It was great to see some visitors from Harris in the mens and ladies competition with the course in impressive condition 🤩
There was some fantastic golf to be seen with the mens and Ladies scratch competition both going to a 3 hole play off.
Scott and DJ both carded fantastic scores of gross 66, which included a 6th on the 18th for DJ after 17 great holes 🤦🏻♀️.
An evening play off between the 2 saw some more brilliant golf from both with an eagle on the 2nd the difference, with DJ having a birdie and they both had par on the other 2 holes, great performances by both
Well done to Scott who wins his first Mens WI County Champion, he tells me his last scratch win in the club was the Thomson Bruce in 2000 😳😅😂 🏆⛳️👍
The mens Handicap Competition was won by Dave Gilmour who had great nett 64 👏🏻👍
In the ladies it was great to see 7 ladies in the competition, I should have just stayed in the shop 😅🤷🏻♀️
Thankfully the rest of the ladies performed well with Molly and Penny carding gross 85, so another evening playoff was required.
The midges didn’t put them off and Molly kept her nerve to see off Penny.
Well done to Molly the Ladies WI County Champion, I can guarantee this will be the first of many 🤩💪 ⛳️🏆
The ladies handicap competition was also very close with Penny pipping Susan on the backward count, both 1 shot ahead of Liz 😅
The Junior Competition saw the usual battle with the younger Macleod sisters with Amber the New Junior WI County Championship and Paige winning the Handicap section.
Congratulations to our new Western Isles Mens County Champion 🥳 Scott Maciver 🏆 👏
Well done to DJ for a great round today and play off ⛳️👍
