Below, you’ll find answers to the most common questions about golf travel in Scotland. If you want to know more or are ready to start planning your trip, contact the expert IGT Travel Planners here.
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:
Aberdeenshire, where city, countryside and coast collide, features blockbuster links courses, gourmet delights and storied monuments.
Ayrshire, a scenic and historic golfing wonderland, is your getaway to three bucket-list Open Championship venues.
East Lothian, only 40 minutes from Edinburgh, combines world-class championship golf, seaside splendour, and big-city excitement.
Fife, the Home of Golf, offers unmatched history, legendary links and the charming Auld Grey Toon.
The Highlands, a secluded natural playground, brims with spellbinding classic and contemporary courses on jaw-dropping landscapes.
IGT designs and delivers your entire golf trip, including a tailored itinerary, tee times, accommodations and transportation (chauffeur-driven coach).
