Scotland's golf

Scotland is small enough to cross in a morning and rich enough in golf to fill a lifetime. These five regions hold the courses visiting golfers ask about most, and many quieter places that deserve to be better known.

  1. St Andrews & Fife

    The Old Course, the ancient grey town around it and a coastline of remarkable links.

Planning from North America

Edinburgh and Glasgow both have direct services from several North American cities, with schedules varying by season. Most overnight flights arrive in the morning, so a gentle first day is wise.

Driving times are modest by North American standards but roads are often rural: St Andrews is around an hour and a quarter from Edinburgh Airport, East Lothian forty minutes, Ayrshire about an hour and a half, and Dornoch roughly three and a half hours north.

Bring a current handicap certificate, layers and good waterproofs. Read more in how to plan a luxury golf trip to Scotland and the best time of year to play.
