Yep, that’s Scotland’s famed Royal Dornoch Golf Club – home to the no.2 course on US Golf Digest’s list of the World’s 100 Greatest Golf Courses – looking decked out for the season.

Unfortunately for golfers of the Northern Hemisphere, Royal Dornoch wasn’t the first course to be covered in the ol’ white stuff this season and it certainly won’t be the last. There’s a longgggg way to go before spring, but when winter looks this beautiful, it’s almost hard to complain.
