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. 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. 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.
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.
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.
