Golf in Scotland
The origins of golf are much debated. However, it is generally accepted that modern golf was developed in Scotland and the first ever 18 holes was played at St Andrew’s in 1764. Today, Scotland has 587 courses, the most courses per capita of any country in the world.
St. Andrews & East Lothian
With a tremendous number of world-class golf courses stretching over 30 miles of coastline, East Lothian and Fife make Scotland’s East Coast an ideal golf destination.
Highlands & Aberdeenshire
The Highlands region has its own microclimate, beautiful scenery and a relaxed atmosphere.
With Royal Dornoch, Cabot Highlands, Nairn and Carnegie Links at Skibo Castle, this remote but easily accessible region should not be missed.
West Coast & Ayrshire
Just a short drive from Glasgow, the west coast of Scotland is home to some of the finest links in the world. With stunning views and a major recent renovation, Turnberry is Scotland’s answer to Pebble Beach. Royal Troon will host the Open in 2024 and Prestwick is the birthplace of the Open Championship and an ideal opportunity to step back in time and experience Scotland’s golf tradition at its finest.
