Golf in Scotland

We are heading there next year for 3-4 days. Will likely play 2x while there. None of us are very good, but we enjoy playing at local courses when we travel. Prefer to have option of golf cart. Obviously The Old Course and Carnoustie are first two that come to mind....

I would no way take a cart there. Not even sure if it’s available.

Not getting a cart at either course

Playing the Old course and riding in a golf cart can’t be used in the same sentence.

I think I was misunderstood. I know that Old Course and Carnoustie are the two most obvious choices in Scotland, but given we aren’t pros and would like a cart, what are some options for the more casual golfer?

Old Course is a must, so is carnoustie. Your not there to set a course record. It’s all about having fun. Play where you want

Better stock up on balls for Carnasty

It would be a sin to not walk St. Andrews or Carnoustie

My brother in law and I certainly want to play old course and Carnoustie, and we don’t mind walking. I’m more asking about cart options because of my father in law. He just likes to ride along and have fun and could care less where we play. Sometimes he won’t even get out and swing a club. So asking him to walk 18 may be a tough task lol.

No offense but this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for most. I’d ask your FIL if he could stomach walking the old course and Carnoustie. If he doesn’t think so leave him at the hotel while you and your BIL play. I’m sure you’d be able to find a no-name course where he could ride in a cart and tell his friends he played golf in Scotland

It’s been 15 years since I played there, but I put the trip together myself, and if things haven’t changed, you will have to play 2 courses at St Andrews in order to get a tee time, unless you win the lottery draw the day you arrive there.
I would play Old Course and New Course. Old Course not open for play on Sundays. Carts are only available for true hdcps, IIRC. The Himalayas is a putting course that is walking distance from the R & A.
I will go back again. But Ireland, then Aberdeen area again is first.

An option for the old course would be go on Sunday. It’s a park also and from what I’ve read you can walk around and picnic on 18th fairway.

Do yourself a favor and play Kingsbarns as well!

I think you have to carry a handicap index of a certain level to play St Andrews.
Posted on 5/13/19 at 5:37 am to dLSUm22
I think some of the courses only allow a decent handicap to play don't they. I believe you will be required to submit your official handicap.
Think I've read that somewhere.

I have only heard of lower handicaps being required to play back tees. Forward tees for everyone else... Which in my mind makes sense.
