Ballachulish House Golf Course

About the club

The site in which The Dragon's Tooth Golf Course club sits is the fields of Glenn a` Chadias; until recently and for many decades, the area was used for grazing cattle. The course was opened on the 8th of June 2002, by Scottish Rugdy Star Rob Wainwright. So, it's the newest Golf Course in Lochaber. It was all the brainchild of the farm owners, Ronnie and Joan MacLaughlin, along with their son Fraser. They appointed the well known Golf Course Archetect Robin Hiseman who now practices his art in the harsh conditions of the Dubi Dessert, a world apart from the lush conditions of the Highlands and the West Coast of Scotland. Robin was astounded by the superb setting at Ballachulish, and used his skills to create a course that is as challenging as it is beautiful. It was Fraser MacLaughlin who put in so much hard work and devotion to creating the course, supported by his wife Lorraine and there young family. Andrew Burnett of Greenstaff Services provided much of the technical expertise and the skilled manpower that converted fields to fairways and the quality of the course today pays tribute to the craftmanship of the construction.
