Scotland Golf Tours

Scotland Golf is our main business. We are keen golfers and arrange Scotland Golf tours for guests from all over the world. Golf in Scotland where the game started over 550 years ago!!

Enjoy your golf more by using our own personal experience of playing many of the golf courses in Scotland plus information from fellow golfers to recommend tours and courses. Visit St. Andrews the home of The Old Course but also the place to play golf on the New Course (1895), the Eden or the Jubilee as well as other newer courses

We arrange individual carefully designed golf packages.
We book suitable tee off times allowing reasonable time for travel.
We arrange accommodation and meals to your requirements.
We book equipment as necessary.
We arrange transport either self drive or with a driver to suit the party.

Single day golf tours from Edinburgh can cover very good courses including Carnoustie, Royal Troon, Muirfield, Gleneagles. Kingsbarns, North Berwick, Ladybank. Longer golf tours in Scotland would perhaps include Turnberry, Cruden Bay, Royal Dornoch, Nairn, Prestwick Old, Western Gailes, Dundonald and for real travellers, Macrihanish and Machrie.

We can combine golfing with tours of the best scenery or visits to castles, palaces and other interesting places so if some of your group do not play golf, no one need be bored!

We try to ensure a good mix of courses - some testing, some relaxing but it is all for your enjoyment and yoursis the final choice. We ensure reasonable travel times.For some of the bigger courses we do recommend that you use caddies to add to the fun. The Old Course at St. Andrews is the mecca of golfers the world over. Come and see it and if possible, have a round on it.

Because it is quite small and the roads are good, travelling in Scotland is not a big problem.

The following is an example of a 10 day golf tour with a rented vehicle. We can arrange tours from 1 day upwards either with a self drive rental or with a chauffeur.
