Scotland

• ‘Home of Golf’
• High-quality links
• Natural environment
• Open qualifying and championship courses

Known universally as the Home of Golf, a trip to Scotland is not so much a golfing vacation, but rather a pilgrimage that every golfer must make at least once in their lifetime. The thing is that once is seldom enough!


Golf in Scotland dates back to the 15th Century and the world’s first Open Championship was held at Prestwick in 1860. The R&A, which takes it name from the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews, is the governing and development body for golf. To many golfers the Old Course, an ancient links course, is considered a “once in a lifetime” experience.

Along with Ireland, Scotland remains one of the most popular golfing destinations in the world. The country where the game began boasts over 550 golf courses and with the likes of Royal Troon, St. Andrews Old Course, Gleneagles, Muirfield, Turnberry and Carnoustie; it’s not hard to see why Scotland is the first choice for many golfers.

The quality of Scottish golf is matched by a range of splendid accommodation, breathtaking scenery and a warm welcome. The most famous drink from Scotland is Scottish whisky or Scotch. Tourists can choose from over 125 active distilleries to visit, all producing their own distinctive taste. On the whole, Scotland is a haven for the golfing visitor.
