Insiders tips on golf in Scotland
Perhaps the greatest advice one can offer to any golfer intending to visit Scotland and who absolutely must play the more famous courses, is to consider arranging their schedule with a specialist golf holiday agent or to combine their booking reservations with specific hotels and guesthouses. Quite simply some of these enterprises have quotas of guaranteed tee times. For example, The Old Course Experience at oldcourse-experience.com can help secure tee-times at St Andrews. Many of the famous golf clubs overshadow many other very fine golf clubs within their local area. Green fees can be substantially cheaper though the quality of golf is similar. Consider courses such as Boat of Garten, Cruden Bay, Durness and Royal Dornoch, and others. Scotland is awash with gems to be discovered.

Regional tourist authorities sometimes sell golf passes or have other promotions which allow you to play several courses at considerable discounts. It is even possible to buy a weekly golf passport for the price of a single round on some of the famous golf clubs.

Finally Scotland is a historic land with much to offer the tourist besides golf. Nature lovers will enjoy the wide open spaces, the great views and the beautiful beaches and countryside. There are many distilleries which conduct public tours and offer samples. Towns and cities such as Edinburgh have much to offer as well. The Scots themselves are a warm and gregarious people without pretension and a great ability to laugh at themselves. Like the Irish, they know how to combine the business of life with the joy of life.
