By: Carl Hibbert  

Scotland is a golfers dream, a golf travel to Scotland is a well known golfers fantasy, the historic importance of Scotland to the game, the splendor of the old course, the tradition and the unique role that golf plays in Scottish life make this country a golfers heaven.

For families, golfing friends or singles wishing to enjoy a profound golf experience, the Golf Resorts of Scotland are the perfect choice.

Many countries around the world pride themselves for having great golf courses but no other country can claim to be the home and heart to the game of golf. Scotland is the birthplace of golf and today has more than 45 golf courses, one of them being the most famous course of all, golfing Mecca – St. Andrews.

Golf history has began here 500 years ago and is very much a way of life in Scotland, with new golf courses aside old ones (and some new courses that are actually very old). Golf resorts are as old as golf in this country, a visit to Scotland is not complete without a round of golf in one of this county’s golf resorts, or a visit to one of the many golf courses here.

The Dornoch Castle Hotel is steeped in Scottish history, the 15th century Castle is not only a perfect golf loacation but also a perfect venue for weddings and receptions.

The Old Course Hotel Golf Resort and Spa is one of the worlds greatest golfing resorts, the hotel has a spectacular location overlooking the famous 17th “Road Hole” of the Old course. Think of a vacation that starts every morning by looking at the birth place of golf.

Carnegie Club at Skibo Castle is located in a romantic Highland landscape of contemplative beauty and offers luxurious hospitality, magnificent golf and traditional country sports.

While visiting Scotland a golfer might enjoy a visit to the British Golf Museum in St Andrews, a golfer may also want to pay his respects to the first winners of past golfing tournaments who are buried in the cathedral. An aspiring golfer may try and improve his game by visiting the National Golf Academy at Drumoig, this practice facility provides everything you need to become a better golfer.
