Brora, Montrose Golf Links, Scotscraig and The Duke’s, St Andrews were all nominated in the category for best Value for Money for a course priced between £50 – £100 for visitors.
It was The Duke’s that took the honours, but another award nomination was still a notable achievement for all at Brora.
Club president Andy Stewart said: “With so many great venues being eligible for nomination in this category, I think this is a great achievement for Brora. I believe this nomination reflects that we have one of the best examples of James Braid’s work. It is also a testament to the great work being done by both the staff and committee. We will endeavour to go one better next year.”
At the showpiece event at the Fairmont St Andrews resort, Kingsbarns Golf Links was named the provider of Scotland’s Best Golf Experience for the fourth time in the last five years.
