I Got To Experience The UK’s Most Acclaimed Golfing Road Trip. Did It Live Up To Expectations?

The 8th hole at Tain on Scotland's north-east coast.

Show me 500 miles of the UK’s most stunning scenery, isolated utopias and golf courses and I’ll give you three weeks of worshipping the game on revered links and little-known wonderlands, and discovering the heart of golf.

The North Coast 500 (NC500) was launched in 2015, a driving route around the Scottish Highlands which starts in Inverness, heads north to John O’Groats, then 90 miles west to Durness and Cape Wrath, south to Applecross and finally east, back to Inverness. There’s no two-shot penalty if you choose to do it in reverse.
