The hotel is located a mere 112 yards from the Old Course, or as our logo implies 'Only a 9-iron from the Old Course' (depending on the wind!!). Jack a 4th generation Texan (Texas Aggie '72) and his Scottish wife Sheena, both avid golfers, operate the hotel 'hands on". They and their staff offer the very best in friendly, personalised service and really enjoy getting to know their customers and talking golf with them. The Dunvegan can comfortabily sleep 16 golfers, but you don't have to stay here to enjoy the great golfing atmosphere that is automatic when visiting the premises. As one major golf publication writes; "The Dunvegan is truly a golf lover's delight, and when you visit the famous golfer's corner lounge bar, suddenly you are eating and drinking with the ghosts of former open champions. What could be better!"
