Royal Dornoch has never hosted any of the modern professional tournaments. The British Amateur Championship was held there in 1985 and the Scottish Amateur in 1993, 2000, and 2012.
The Championship Course was ranked #3 on the 2007 Golf Digest list of Top 100 International (outside U.S.) courses. David Brice, of Golf International, called it the "king of Scottish links courses".

History
It is claimed that golf was played in Dornoch in the early seventeenth century. The current golf club was established 139 years ago in 1877, and was awarded its royal status in 1906. The design of the Championship Course is attributed to Old Tom Morris.
Tom Watson is an honorary member of Royal Dornoch, which was the home of noted course architect Donald Ross.
Members of the club traveled to the northwest United States in September 2005 for a friendly international competition and cultural exchange with the Coeur d'Alene Tribe at their Circling Raven Golf Club in northern Idaho.
