| Whilst on tour it's
most important to experience the best each area has to offer and soak up the local
atmosphere. With our expert, up-to-date knowledge, we'll point you in the right
direction for the best dining, pubs, sightseeing and shopping opportunities. | |
| | | | |
| |
| | | | |
| Let us know if you
or any of your party have a particular interest other than golf (yes, there are
other interests!) and we'll help. As well as sightseeing and shopping destinations,
our team will recommend the best visitor attractions, including castles, gardens,
and distilleries - there's so much on offer! | |

| For relaxation away
from the course there is a tempting range of treatments available. Many of the
resort properties, for example, offer wonderfully pampering or rejuvenating spa
treatments. | |
| | | | |
|
| | | | |
| It
is important to travel with a handicap certificate as play can be denied if you
are unable to produce this when requested. Handicap restrictions apply on some
courses; we'll advise you about these in your proposed tour itinerary. | |
| | | | |
| | |
| | |
| The
majority of the links courses have caddies available because, traditionally, they
are walking courses. Links Golf St Andrews will request caddies for you in advance,
when required. For those golfers who do not wish to have a caddie, the option
of pull carts is widely available. Some, but not all, links courses permit limited
use of golf carts where age and disability restrictions apply. At the larger golf
resorts, golf carts are in greater supply and will be booked in advance on request.

It
is increasingly common for golfers to ship their clubs in advance and we are happy
to take delivery at our office or at the most appropriate location prior to your
arrival.
Rental sets are readily available and can be reserved in advance
for those not wishing to bring their own golf clubs. | |

The
weather in this part of the world is better than people have been led to believe.
It can, however, be unpredictable. They say this is very much part of the charm
of the destination and every golfer should experience the challenging weather
at least once during their stay.
We're often asked when the best time
of year for golf tours is. Although it is possible to play golf year-round, we
view April as the start of the season. This is when we hold the annual St Andrews
Golf Week, which attracts golfers from every corner of the world. For the avid
golfer who is looking to play 36 holes (or more) in one day, June and July have
the longest daylight hours; towards the end of June it is possible to play until
11pm in Scotland!
If the Old Course in St Andrews is a must-play, you'll
need to avoid the middle two weeks in September, as the course is closed to visitors
for the Royal & Ancient Golf Club's Autumn Meeting. At the end of October,
a number of the Championship courses close and others move to their winter set-up.
This is when local golfers take to the links and a 3-hour round is the norm. | |
