Included Courses

Carnoustie Championship

Carnoustie Championship, pot bunker at the 16th

Carnoustie is considered by many to be the toughest of all the Open links courses. Walter Hagen described it as the greatest golf course in the British Isles and one of the top three in the world. Historians believe the game has been played here since the early 16th century.

Carnoustie, Scotland

Cruden Bay

Cruden Bay

Cruden Bay is old fashioned Scottish links golf at its best. Set against a backdrop of subtly contoured greens, magnificent panoramic views of the North Sea, it is cut from the biggest and highest sand dunes in Scotland.

Gullane No. 1

Gullane No. 1, 7th green

A magnificent classic links, Gullane No. 1 is regularly used for local Open qualifying as well as major amateur championships. It is renown for fast greens, fearful bunkers and panoramic views -- especially atop the 7th green.

Kingsbarns Links

Kingsbarns Links

Kingsbarns Golf Links was opened in 2000 to much acclaim as the best new links in a long time. This championship course incorporates twelve holes resurrected from the 18th century. A true links course with views of the sea from almost every hole, Kingsbarns is a tribute to its rich Scottish links heritage.

Nairn Championship

Nairn Golf Course - 3rd hole

This Traditional Scottish Golf Links Course was created on the shores of the Moray Firth from a Highland wilderness of whins and heather, and tests the talents of professional and amateur alike. Other than in a strong westerly, the course leads you in gently before demanding accurate driving and precision second shots to tricky greens.

Nairn, Inverness

North Berwick Championship

North Berwick 14th hole

The west course, North Berwick Championship is a true links course laid out on a raised-beach. It is a golfing experience not found anywhere else, with blind holes, drives over walls and burns, shots over the bay, and bunkers deep enough for the golfer to disappear from view! The North Berwick Golf Club is the thirteenth oldest golf club in the world, second only to St Andrews for continuous play over the same course.

Old Course at St. Andrews

The Old Course at St. Andrews

Commonly accepted as the 'home of golf' and the 2010 venue for the Open Championship, the Old Course attracts thousands of golfers from around the world every year, to walk the sod where all the greats of golf lore have!

Prestwick Old

Prestwick Old, 8th green

Birthplace to the first Open in 1860 and venue for 24 in total, Prestwick Golf Club is situated just half an hour southwest of Glasgow on the famous golfing Ayrshire coast. Along a stretch of land unequalled anywhere in the world for prime golfing terrain, Prestwick shares it boundaries with Royal Troon and is just 20 minutes from Turnberry. Tremendous history to view in the clubhouse.

Royal Aberdeen

Royal Aberdeen Golf Course

A traditional old Scottish links, it is well bunkered with undulating fairways. It is an excellent balance of holes, strong par 4's tricky par 3's and two classic par 5's with the 8th protected by 10 bunkers. The ever changing wind, tight greens and a magnificent finish makes Balgownie a test for the very best.

Royal Dornoch Championship

Royal Dornoch Championship

Royal Dornoch deserves a place among the top links in Scotland. A natural links masterpiece, it is consistently ranked among the best courses in the world. Golf has been played here since 1616, and is the birthplace of noted golf course architect Donald Ross.

Royal Troon Old & Portland

Royal Troon Old - 'Postage Stamp' hole

The Old course at Royal Troon is exceptionally demanding and recognized as one of the sternest tests on the Open Championship rota. Perhaps most famous is its par 3 8th hole, the Postage Stamp. The course is undulating in the classic links fashion but danger lurks in the guise of wind, rough and bunkers. This is a course which demands courage and a test of the mental aspects of golf. Royal Troon welcomes men and women, and sells a day ticket only for a round on the Old course and a round on the Portland course. There is no requirement to play the Portland Course, but no refund if you choose not to. Handicap restrictions apply.

St. Andrews New or Jubilee

St. Andrews New Course

Opened in 1895 and laid out by Tom Morris, the New Course is a classic links course which uses the natural features of the land to create a first class golfing challenge. Created in 1897 on a narrow strip of land between the New Course and the sea, the Jubilee course was originally a 12 hole layout intended for ladies and beginners. Over the next 100 years, holes were added and other improvements made.

Turnberry Ailsa

Turnberry Ailsa, 9th hole

The Ailsa course at the Turnberry Hotel is regularly acknowledged as one of Britain's top three courses, with consistent rankings in the world top 20. The Ailsa is quite generous with wide fairways and benevolent lies, but it demands full respect with the wind comes into play. The 9th hole is probably one of the most photographed holes in golf, with the tee looking over Turnberry Bay and the famous lighthouse. For advance tee times, accommodation in the Hotel is required.

Western Gailes

Western Gailes GC

Western Gailes is never other than an excellent test of true links golf. Any change in the strength or direction of the wind -- that usually varies between south-westerly and north-westerly off the adjacent Firth of Clyde -- provides new challenges that are compounded by undulating terrain and finely contoured greens cleverly located and set in the folds of the surrounding sand dunes.
