In Scotland, many of the fine hotels are period buildings and therefore have several different types of room. We strongly recommend booking larger rooms and those with better views, which will unquestionably add to your experience.

We offer a range of vehicles, both self-drive and with driver. For groups of 8 or more, we strongly recommend that you consider hiring one of our customised luxury motor coaches for your tour. These vehicles have been designed and built specifically to suit the needs of golfing groups. For smaller groups (up to 4 people) also wishing to have a driver, we operate a fleet of Mercedes Viano people carriers, specially designed with golf travel in mind.

All the vehicles we provide are spacious and have ample room for luggage. For those in self-drive vehicles, we recommend you limit yourself, where possible, to 1 suitcase, golf clubs in a soft case and hand luggage.

Special Note:
Over the years there has been an increase in airlines losing luggage in transit. It is therefore advisable to make provision for this i.e. travel with a small carry-on suitcase with essentials, including any medication. Lost luggage should be reported to the airline at the airport where you will be issued with a tracking code/ reference number. In these unfortunate circumstances, it is important that you continue with your travel plans and enjoy your vacation. Therefore our office is always happy to assist in tracing and retrieving your missing items.

Many of the golf courses you will wish to play are private golf clubs and therefore have limited tee times and restrictions on visitor play. Often demand outstrips supply, so it is never too early to begin planning your golf tour.

With regard to the Old Course in St Andrews, Links Golf St Andrews is one of very few tour operators who have an allocation of tee times. These are strictly allocated on a first come first serve basis. Click Here to view our latest Old Course tee time availability. Those golfers who are not allocated an advanced Old Course tee time will have the option of being entered in the ballot for a tee time.

Most golf clubs allow visitors to use their clubhouse facilities, including the locker rooms and dining areas. Over the last decade, golf clubs have relaxed their dress codes. We would, however, always recommend taking a pair of street shoes (not training shoes) as you may be refused entry to all or part of the clubhouse without them. The green fees at some golf courses include lunch and we will advise you of this prior to travel.

Notes:
Handicap certificates should be carried when playing at all golf courses. Play may be denied for non-production.

When requested, we will book caddies and buggies in advance, however this does not guarantee availability. Caddies are self-employed and supply can change on a daily basis. Caddy fees at the above courses, inclusive of tip, range from £40-£65.

Links Golf St Andrews strongly recommend that their clients arrange their own individual travel insurance before they travel. Click here for an online quote.
