Golf vacations in Scotland are something of a pilgrimage for serious golfers and playing on the most prized courses is akin to standing in the shoes of the gods. St. Andrews Revered as the oldest golf course in the world, St Andrews Old Course has been in use for over six hundred years. The natural terrain has barely been altered and enjoying the timeless scenery along with the legendary holes, it is easy to see why this course is consistently rated as the world’s best. Simply awe-inspiring.

Carnoustie Many people take golf vacations in Scotland to thoroughly test their skills, and few courses provide more of a challenge than Carnoustie Golf Links.

If you enjoy a challenge, Carnoustie will offer you a round of golf unlike any other.

Gleneagles There are a number of amazing Gleneagles courses that are well worth playing on your golf vacation in Scotland, but the Kings Course really is the best of the best. The breathtaking views cannot help but inspire you on an impeccably designed course which has been challenging and rewarding golfers for nearly a hundred years.

Westin Turnberry - The Ailsa Perhaps the most famous course in Scotland, the Turnberry contains three courses, but it is The Ailsa that is the prize.
