Although the golf course is short, it is highly rated by enthusiasts. The eighth hole is particularly dramatic and challenging.
Boat fishing trips can be arranged at the harbour, and there are many hill lochs in the area with trout fishing available.
Nearby are two churches, the brown stone Free Church with its magnificent views over Loch Gairloch and the white-harled kirk on the inland side of the main road.
The views are equally striking but very different in the coastal area to the west of Gairloch, where the B8021 continues to Melvaig and beyond.
Gairloch's history dates back at least as far as the iron age dun or fort on a headland near the golf club.
