May to September offers the warmest weather, longest daylight hours, and best playing conditions for Scotland golf tours. However, the shoulder seasons (April and October) are increasingly popular among travelling golfers. Yes, the air is a little crisper, but there’s more availability for the best courses and hotels.
Planning early gives you the best chance of securing tee times at your preferred courses, especially icons like Turnberry and St Andrews. Many venues release their visitor tee sheets a year ahead, so we recommend booking 12-18 months in advance.
That depends on you. Each Scottish golf region delivers its own uniquely magical experience:
IGT designs and delivers your entire golf trip, including a tailored itinerary, tee times, accommodations and transportation (chauffeur-driven coach). You’ll also be assigned a dedicated logistics expert, who will provide 24/7 support and ensure your experience in Scotland runs as smoothly as a championship green!
