The ‘Home of Golf’, rugged and romantic, friendly and affordable, Scotland is the world’s number one golf destination. If you ever nurtured the idea of a truly inspiring golf vacation, then you must come to Scotland, the place where it all began.
With over 500 courses to choose from, there is a course and a setting to suit everyone. On Scotland’s inimitable links and scenic inland courses you will share the joys and challenges of the world’s golfing legends. Ben Hogan, Bobby Locke, Gene Sarazen, Gary Player, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods have all come to take on the country’s great championship venues and most have stayed to explore some of its less obvious ‘gems’.
Scotland was made for golf! It was on the links, the undulating sandy stretches of common ground, near coastal towns, that the game developed. With short grazed turf, golf’s earliest pioneers found these links ideal for a game of ball and stick.
From these rustic beginnings, Scotland went on to lead the world in the development and proliferation of the game. In the late 19th and early 20th century hundreds of Scottish professional golfers took their playing skills along with their knowledge of club and ball-making to every corner of the world and helped establish golf as a world-wide sport.
In Scotland today golf is part of the national fabric and wherever you go you will find a canny knowledge and reverence for the game. Whether it’s your taxi driver, the barman or hotel proprietor, you will find golfers willing to share information and insights to help make your stay all the more memorable.
