No. 13 at Royal Dornoch
This painting is created with the full endorsement of Royal Dornoch Golf Club. Aimee Smith Studios is an authorized artist partner.
If you have ever played Royal Dornoch when the gorse is in bloom, you understand why so many golfers call this course their version of heaven. The 13th hole sits along the Dornoch Firth where the golden gorse bushes frame the fairway and the Highland light shifts by the hour.
This was a commissioned piece, painted over several months in the studio using reference photography taken on location in Dornoch, Scotland. At this size, the painting creates an immersive experience where you can almost hear the wind coming off the Firth and feel the turf underfoot.

Painting Royal Dornoch in Full Bloom
If you have ever played Royal Dornoch when the gorse is in bloom, you understand why so many golfers call this course their version of heaven. The 13th hole sits along the Dornoch Firth where the golden gorse bushes frame the fairway and the Highland light shifts by the hour. It was this particular combination of color and atmosphere that inspired this Royal Dornoch golf painting.
This was a commissioned piece, painted over several months in the studio using reference photography taken on location in Dornoch, Scotland. The 60 by 72 inch canvas is one of the largest golf course paintings in the Aimee Smith Studios collection, and the scale was intentional. At this size, the painting creates an immersive experience where you can almost hear the wind coming off the Firth and feel the turf underfoot.
This original Royal Dornoch painting now belongs to a private collection. If you are interested in commissioning a similar piece or exploring other Royal Dornoch golf art, Aimee welcomes inquiries at hello@aimeesmithstudios.com.
