Golf clubs

The first golf course in Inverness was situated in the Longman area and it was here that the Inverness Golf Club was first founded in 1883. The course remained in this position adjacent to the Moray Firth until the onset of the Second World War when the then War Department commandeered the land to be used as an RAF base for the duration of the conflict. Post war, the Longman was designated as an industrial area for the growing town. It is still just possible to see the site of some of the original tees if you know where to look.The Longman Trophy is an annual event named after the original site of the course and the Longman Cup is one of the many assets donated to Torvean by the original Longman club.
