“We are delighted to win this award," he said.

“It was a nice surprise to learn of our success and it is a real positive for everyone associated with the club during this difficult year.

"We work hard to maintain the quality of the Championship Course at Royal Dornoch, as well as our Struie Course, and look forward to welcoming more visitors back to our links in the months ahead.”

Castle Stuart in Inverness was among the nominees for the award along with 2019 winner Carnoustie and St Andrews Old Course in 2018.

Gleneagles, Kingsbarns, Loch Lomond, Royal Aberdeen, Royal Troon and Turnberry were also shortlisted.
