The proposed layout of the course

A replacement golf course for Torvean Golf Club is to be built in Inverness.

Highland Council have approved the plans for the facility, which will cost £7.5m.

The golf club has to be moved as part of plans to build the controversial new West Link road.

Inverness councillor Jimmy Grey said the move would make a big improvement to the course and bring major benefits to future generations.

The development will include a new clubhouse and the reshaping of a significant area of ground.

The existing course is on the route of the proposed £34m West Link road.

Using the land at Charleston would mean golfers no longer having to cross the A82 and General Booth Road when moving between holes.
