Golf courses to play in scotland?

Question

I'm planning a golf trip ot scotland in a few years and I'm not too sure where to play... I already have St. Andrews, Carnoustie, and Muirfield on my list.

Answer 1

They are all very good, the locals have enormous pride in their own clubs; almost to the point of even being violent, but even clubs you have never heard of are also very good.

Answer 2

Edinburgh - Royal Musselburgh Golf Club

I live in Scotland and I think this is a place you will enjoy playing in.

Answer 3

Kingsbarns Golf Links

With views of the ocean and the high tide foaming over the rocks below, one quickly realises that this links is special and while nothing can replace the Old Course at St Andrews, Kingsbarns Links is infinitely more scenic and is a worthy spiritual descendant of its historical neighbour. more

2  The Westin Turnberry Resort

While the worldwide recognition commanded by Turnberry is due mostly to the Ailsa Course, it should not be forgotten that the Kintyre Course is also a fine test of golf. With a par of 72 and a championship yardage of 6,583, it is definitely worth playing. more

3  Muirfield Golf Course

There are just a few golf courses in the world that convey everything by their very name. Augusta National, Ballybunion and St. Andrews are three of these courses and there is no doubt that Muirfield is another. more

4  Gleneagles Golf Club

The PGA Centenary Course, created by Jack Nicklaus, has five different tees at each hole, building up to the ultimate 7,088 yard championship test. The famous 6,741 yard King's and the challenging 5,965 yard Queen's were both designed by James Braid. As the first man to win five Open Championships, he knew a thing or two about the perfect course. more

5  Royal Troon Golf Course

Consistently ranked as one of the best links golf courses in the world, Royal Troon was created by the hand of Willie Fernie, one of the great early British golfers in 1878. Today, the Old Course at Troon presents a stiff golfing examination and the inward half is recognised as the most demanding of any of the courses on the Open Championship rota. more

6  Royal Dornoch Golf course

However good Brora, Nairn or Golspie may be, the jewel in the Highland golfing crown is definitely Royal Dornoch Golf Club. Universally rated as being in the world's top 20 golf courses, Royal Dornoch is unique among the great links of Scotland in that it has never hosted the British Open. Not a reflection of its quality, this is solely because of Dornoch's remote location. However remote it may be though, this links is a must play course on any golfing trip to Scotland. more

7  St Andrews Old Course

Though the championship credentials of the Old Course hardly require justification, the venue has played host to 25 Open Championships and many other events over the years. And while it measures almost 7,000 yards from the championship tees, the visitor is more likely to take on the 6,566-yard challenge. more

8  Royal Aberdeen Balgownie Links

Set alongside a picturesque shoreline featuring sweeping sand dunes, Royal Aberdeen is a highly rated traditional links course. Possessing many eye-catching features, most notably the quality of the opening and closing holes, it boasts a balance of long and short par 4's, testing par 3's and tricky par 5', which due to wind speed and direction, play differently each day. more

9  North Berwick Golf Club

Set alongside a picturesque shoreline featuring sweeping sand dunes, Royal Aberdeen is a highly rated traditional links course. Possessing many eye-catching features, most notably the quality of the opening and closing holes, it boasts a balance of long and short par 4's, testing par 3's and tricky par 5', which due to wind speed and direction, play differently each day. more

10  Ladybank Golf Club

On teeing off at Ladybank, the golfer quickly becomes aware of the challenge about to be presented. The mature woodland channels the wind in such a way that the aspect of each hole changes. The dogleg first hole is typical of many at Ladybank, when having carried the rough to the fairway the golfer is left with a tight second to the green





Carnoustie  

The course as it was in 1937 is much as it is today and the challenge the modern golfer takes on is the one which confronted the player nearly 70 years ago.



Carnoustie is a public links, and the opportunity is there for everyone to play the Championship course. There are many local golf clubs, all of which have playing rights over the course and the clubs themselves have a proud and interesting history
