Scotland is not only the home of golf, but it is also one of the world's leading golfing destinations. A golf holiday to Scotland combines sensational courses, a deep history of the game and warm hospitality. With a coastline full of outstanding links challenges, there are plenty of opportunities for lovers of seaside golf. You could even take in a selection of courses on one of our Scottish golf tour packages or, head to one of the country's many classic golf resorts, all of which can provide you with the ideal golf break to Scotland.

Take a golf break to Fife and experience not just some of golf's finest and most famous courses, but also revel and soak up the rich history of the game. The legendary Old Course at St Andrews can be found on Fife's golf coast and there are many other ancient links courses that can make up an unforgettable golf tour or short break. From outstanding golf resorts - St Andrews Bay 5*, Carnoustie 4* - to charming, traditional "golfer's inns" - The Inn at Lathones - there are plenty of options for accommodation and courses in the true home of golf. Perthshire offers quality inland golf - most notably at Gleneagles - to complement the seaside classics of Fife and Angus and with such a strong golfing tradition, any lover of the game will savour a golf break to this part of the world.

The south west coast of Scotland is a paradise for worshippers of high quality links golf. Ayrshire hosted the first Open Championship in 1860 and offers as fine a stretch of back to back seaside courses as you'll find anywhere. At the south of this stretch is the famed Open venue of Westin Turnberry 5*. One of the world's leading links golf resorts, it features first class accommodation and two outstanding golf courses; The Ailsa and The Kintyre. Other former and current Open hosts - Prestwick and Royal Troon - are located just up the coast as are a clutch of other superb courses. With stunning views and excellent accommodation near to all the golf, an Ayrshire golf break will live long in the memory.

Quaint rural towns combine with traditional hospitality to make the Scottish Borders a truly relaxing golf break region. As well as some cracking individual courses, there's also a couple of quality golfing resorts. The Roxburghe Hotel 4* exudes high class throughout its country house hotel and beautifully designed course. Further west you can find the charming MacDonald Cardrona 4* and if you prefer self-catered accommodation, then the New Woll Estate is ideal for groups as it offers all your home luxuries as well as a great golf course.
