The Nairn Golf Club — Local services in Scotland

Looks like a lovely place, so decided to test the restaurant on Sunday afternoon....... Unfortunately I can't say anything about food, but I may have a few words about the service.... Or lack of it.

At the entrance I asked one of the staff members if I can have a meal. He politely replied that I can sit anywhere. Bar was quite empty and I waited for service. 5 minutes later 2 guys took the table next to main and immediately got the menu. Few minutes later they got their drinks..... I was still waiting. Few minutes later another group took the table next to mine. They also got the menu and ordered the drinks. This was already over 15 minutes since I arrived.

This was the first course my friends and I went to play while visiting Scotland for whisky and golf. From the moment we stepped into the clubhouse and enjoyed the incredible views from this historical, seaside club, we knew we had made the right choice. The service was outstanding from the moment we arrived. But it was the course itself that had my friends and I relishing every moment.

You’ll be...
