2.a) Go to contact us and select either "Request a Quote" or "Call Me". OR
 b) Send a fax outlining your golf tour requirements (e.g. number of golfers/non golfers, specific golf courses, preferred hotel grade, mode of transport, etc) OR
 c)Call our office and speak to one of our Golf Tour Co-ordinators.

3. We will respond with a personalised quotation that will include, where necessary, any adjustments and suggestions to make the tour complete.

4. Once you have decided on your travel dates and are satisfied with your itinerary, we will request a deposit of 30% of your tour cost. The balance of your tour being due 60 days prior to arrival.

 Hotels

In Scotland, many of the fine hotels are period buildings and therefore have several different room types. We recommend upgrading to larger rooms and to those with better views.

 Transport

We offer a wide range of self-drive vehicles as well as escorted vehicles and coaches for transportation. For groups of 8 people or more, we strongly recommend that you give consideration to hiring one of our customised luxury coaches for your tour. These vehicles have been designed and built specifically to suit the needs of golfing groups.

 Luggage

For those travelling by luxury coach, there are no great limitations on the amount of luggage these vehicles can accommodate.
For those in self-drive vehicles, we recommend you limit your luggage where possible - e.g. Typical luggage for one golfer: 1 suitcase, golf clubs in a soft carry case and hand luggage.

 Tee Times

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

With regard to the Old Course, Links Golf St Andrews is one of very few protected tour operators who receive an allocation of tee times. These are strictly allocated on a first come first serve basis. 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. The ballot is drawn the day before play.

 Clubhouse

Most golf clubs allow visitors to use the clubhouse facilities including the locker rooms and dining areas. For visitors playing Royal Troon and Western Gailes, lunch is included within the green fee.

Notes:

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-£60.
