Scotland Golf Holiday – Visit Six of Scotland’s Legendary Golf Courses
Where to spend a fabulous golf holiday? Scotland should come easily to mind? It has some of the world’s best golf courses. Not sure which courses to visit? Not a problem. Here are six of Scotland’s best.
Scotland Golf Holiday -St Andrews: No golf holiday in Scotland would be complete without a visit to this town, and the St Andrews Links – one of the oldest courses ever constructed. Golf was already being played here, historians claim, when Columbus found the American continent. St Andrews is the site of various Open Championships.
Carnoustie: This is the second oldest course found in Scotland, dating back to the 1500s. Carnoustie is demanding. One needs accuracy and strength from every single tee. And then there’s the rain and winds to confound things, in every single round.
Gleneagles: is a favourite among golfers. Golf legend Jack Nicklaus designed Gleneagles; it is also home to both the Ryder Cup Championships (2014) and the PGA Centenary golf course. Rather a long course (7081 yard), Gleneagles demands from the golfer peak accuracy. This way, it keeps away from the ponds, streams, pot bunkers, and sand traps.
Scotland Golf Holiday -Muirfield: will test any golfer. Nicklaus is among the winners here. Muirfield is home to the oldest golf club in the world, the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfer (1744). Among the golf courses in the British Isles and in Scotland, Muirfield is considered the finest. You will certainly remember Muirfield as a course steep in history and overflowing with challenges.
Royal Troon Golf Club boasts its own share of golf winners, from Bobby Locke to Justin Leonard. Wind is said to be the defining factor here, as it can ruin a golfer’s plans.
Scotland Golf Holiday -Turnberry: is considered the most scenic of all golf vacation stops in all Scotland. Dubbed the Pebble Beach of the entire British Isles, it is the scene of the memorable golf war between Nicklaus and Watson in 1977. If you love scenery and appreciate golf history, Turnberry is for you.
Naturally, there are many other courses in Scotland, but the above come highly recommended for your Scotland golf holiday.
