About Scotland Golf Holidays
Scotland provides golfers with access to some of the most respected courses in the game, catering to a wide range of playing styles and abilities. Renowned venues such as Kingsbarns Golf Links and the Championship Course at Royal Dornoch Golf Club are celebrated for their setting and challenge, while courses like Fairmont St Andrews – Kittocks offer championship golf with sweeping coastal views.
The country’s compact golfing regions make it easy to combine multiple courses in a single itinerary. Areas such as St Andrews and the Scottish Highlands allow golfers to enjoy contrasting styles of golf while keeping travel time to a minimum, creating a relaxed and rewarding golf holiday experience.
Accommodation options are equally varied, ranging from traditional hotels close to historic courses to larger resorts offering extensive facilities.
