Royal Dornoch's new-look websites to mark 

400 years of golf

NEWS RELEASE

Dornoch, Sutherland:  Royal Dornoch Golf Club has revamped its websites for the launch of 400 Years of Golf in Dornoch with a new look and responsive designs for tablets and mobiles.

The Royal Dornoch Tartan is the core of the new lay-out and design across all three of the club’s new websites:

www.royaldornoch.com is the main site, with information on the courses, the club and clubhouse, as well as online booking for visitors and members.

The Royal Dornoch Tartan site was launched worldwide in September this year with online sales through www.royaldornochtartan.com already reaching well into five figures.

The third site, www.dornoch400.com, was developed in collaboration with local communities to create a website that links Royal Dornoch with other clubs, organisations and people in the area.

The new Royal Dornoch sites have been developed to allow the heritage of the club to be celebrated and enhanced, by integrating new technologies such as Apps, Embedded Videos and the growing

number of Social Media platforms, with the standard features of Online Booking and Visitor Information. As more people use tablets and smartphones to access the Internet, it is important

that the new websites allow users to find information, make bookings, and interact online with the golf club in formats and on devices that meet their needs.

It has been an important year for Royal Dornoch as it moves towards celebrating the beginnings of golf in Dornoch, recognising the value of golf to Sutherland and the Scottish Highlands as an

important facet of the local economy, and by ensuring that the golf club, town and its businesses can continue to meet the expectations of world visitors.
