re: Scotland Golf Vacation

If you want a “no worry” trip, where everything is taken care of, try Perry Golf. I used them twice. Depending on the size of your group, they will pick you up at the airport (van, bus, etc.) and take you to each course and hotel. They can take care of your flights and connections also. They are first class! It’s a once in a lifetime trip, so I wouldn’t mess with trying it myself.

We spent two weeks, one in Ireland and one in Scotland. If you are just wanting Scotland, of course you want to play the Old Course. The New Course is somewhat similar but not as historic. Kingsbarn is nearby, as is Carnoustie. Royal Aberdeen and Cruden Bay are not far away. Then, I’d go to Troon and Prestwick. The two courses are next to each other. The Open was played at Prestwick for the first few years. Turnberry has three courses. The Ailsa Course hosts the Open. If you travel up to Northern Scotland, thru the Highlands, you have Royal Dornoch and Nairn. Royal Dornoch is top notch! These are all links style courses. There are some inland, but they are more American style layouts. If you have any questions, I can give you more suggestions.
