Golf Holidays in Scotland

Scotland:
a destination
for lovers
of the great outdoors

Beyond the legends and myths that are an integral part of Scotland’s culture, this country is a masterful blend of raw, wild nature and a rich, unique history. Those who love waterfalls, cliffs, and heather will be delighted to explore the Highlands in the north of the country, where there are more sheep than people. Discover Loch Ness and admire landscapes you won’t find anywhere else.

Among the Scottish traditions you can experience, visit a haunted house, or don a kilt and play the bagpipes in the streets of Glasgow. The downside of Scotland is the frequent rain. However, it often comes in showers and the weather changes quite quickly. Late spring is the best time to visit Scotland, as it is quite pleasant without being too hot. Paradoxically, summer is less sunny than spring.

A golf holiday in Scotland

Golf was born in Scotland. As early as the mid-18th century, gentlemen from Masonic lodges founded the prestigious golf clubs of Edinburgh and St Andrews. It wasn’t until 1868 that women were allowed on the greens.

With nearly 580 golf courses, Scotland is the cradle of golf. Considered the “home of golf,” Scotland regards this sport as a cultural icon of the country. With unique courses found nowhere else, golf enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to the sport’s origins, and beginners will find themselves in the best place to learn and improve. A golf holiday in Scotland offers a genuine opportunity to immerse oneself in the world of this sport, while playing on extraordinary courses such as the globally renowned St Andrews Old Golf Course or the must-visit St Andrews Duke’s Golf Course during a golf trip in Scotland.

Scottish Immersion

A golf holiday in Scotland is also a fantastic opportunity to immerse yourself in the “So British” atmosphere of prestigious places like The Gleneagles Hotel. This globally renowned establishment is situated in the heart of a golfing complex that boasts three of Scotland’s prestigious championship courses.

If you opt for the golf courses of St Andrews, you will likely stay at the Old Course Hotel. This hotel is part of a luxury complex with an international reputation. The suites, with their understated and contemporary decor, offer magnificent panoramic views of West Sands Beach and the St Andrews golf course.

In the far north of Scotland, in the Highlands territory, breathe in the sea air and enjoy the Scottish coastal landscapes that unfold before you at the Golf View Hotel. Located in the seaside town of Nairn, the establishment is near Castle Stuart Golf, where your pars will lead you along cliffside fairways.
