Scotland as per most rating systems is generally recognized as having 11 of the top 100 golf courses in the world. Since most golfers that purchase golfing tours are going to Scotland for the first time they wish to see the best Scotland has to offer and also get to play the courses they are familiar with, they are the ones that have hosted the British Open championship. Scotland has 5 venues that regularly host the Open championship. They are Troon, Turnberry, Carnoustie , Muirfield and naturally the home of golf St. Andrews and you will play them all. This tour is the only advertized tour that plays exclusively golf courses that are rated in the world top 100 by various rating systems. In this tour we play the following courses:
The 3 remaining courses Royal Dornoch, Loch Lomond and Macrihanish will not be played because of their remoteness or due to the fact that they do not accept groups. You can read more about each course under the menu Golf Courses Scotland. Some of the courses also has video presentations that you can view. Accommodations As so far as accommodations are concerned, we believe that every golfer wants accommodations that he truly believes are up to his standards. Therefore upon arrival we will drive to the Carnoustie Hotel and Spa that is less than 100 feet from the Carnoustie Championship course and has all the amenities that one would want from an accommodation during a golf vacations, such as on site leisure facilities including sauna, indoor pool, steam room, Jacuzzi, and gym, etc. For our 2 games at Muirfield and North Berwick we will be staying in North Berwick at the Macdonald Marine Hotel & Spa and exceptionally at the Nether Abbey Hotel or Belhaven Hotel. The Belhaven Hotel is often the choice of groups with it’s panoramic sea views across the Firth of Forth and the West Links golf course, their handsome Victorian villa offers comfortable and friendly bed and breakfast accommodation. The Belhaven Hotel is in a great location - the beach, train station, Scottish Seabird Centre, harbour, shops, restaurants and pubs are all within minutes walk. For our 2 games at Troon and Turnberry we will be staying at the prestigious Barcelo Troon Marine Hotel a hotel of undisputed luxury with breathtaking surroundings overlooking the 18th hole of the Royal Troon golf course.

Important Notes: The tours that are offered on this site “Top 100 Golf Tours” offer you the opportunity to play the best golf courses in the world. The starting times on these golf courses are in high demand and therefore the longer the lead time the better chances of getting to pay the courses. As an example one of the courses on these tours open their reservation’s book for the 2011 season in February 2010.The Old course at St. Andrews can’t be reserved at this date for 2010, any booking requires either using the ballot or guaranteed tee times that have been purchased at a greatly increased price. The conclusion is that to have the best 2011 trip reserve it prior to September to give us the chance of getting all the starting times you require to have a memorable golf vacation. |
