There's nothing quite like the experience of golfing in Scotland. After all, golf was invented in Scotland, and it's been played here for more than 600 years. When many of us think of Scottish golf courses, we think of links courses, but there are more than 500 different courses in this small country, making for a diverse golfing experience. Click Here for Scotland Golf Holidays!If you're a golf fan or an avid player, you've probably heard of some of the most famous courses in Scotland. Historical courses like the Old Course at St. Andrews, Turnberry, Royal Dornoch, and Carnoustie are some of the most famous Scottish golf courses. The countryside is ripe with hidden treasures as well. Some of the lesser known courses worth checking out include Brora, Murcar, Dunbar, Golspie, Montrose, North Berwick, Gullane, and Western Gailes.
One thing that makes the golf courses in Scotland different than the courses found in the rest of the world is the speed of play. Most of the courses take under four hours to play. In addition, most courses do not allow players to use golf carts. Some courses have marshals who enforce the speed of play. Other courses require players to meet handicap requirements. At Adventures In Golf we make sure our customers understand any special rules of play before they head out on the courses.
For a fun and successful golf vacation in Scotland, it's a good idea to research the basic protocol for golfers. For example, it is customary for players to say, "have a good game" at the first tee. Unlike the private courses in America, many of the courses in Scotland are open to the general public. In Scotland, golf is a working man's sport, and the camaraderie is apparent in the friendliness you feel on the greens.
