Golfer and Non-Golfer Ultimate Tour in Scotland

Golfer and Non-Golfer tour

Scotia Golfing specialise in unique tailor-made Scottish golf tours. We understand that not every member of a group on holiday wants to experience the same daily activities and, remarkably, not everyone  who visits Scotland is able to, or wants to golf.  Because of this we have put together another package suited to the Golfer and Non-Golfer. If you book this package we will also include reservations at our favourite restaurants. This Scottish tour also gives you the chance to experience a stay in a historic Castle!

Day 1

Arrive in Scotland and meet your Scotia Golfing representative. They will assist with your hire car collection or help load the chauffeur driven vehicle.

Transfer to Rusacks Hotel, St Andrews. Overlooking the 18th Hole of the Old Course. A fabulous place to start your Scottish golf tour.

Day 2

Golfers : Old Course * (Subject to Ballot) - Play the holy grail, the most famous of them all! The Old Course will once again host the Open Championship in 2021 and is the highlight of many Scottish golf holidays. Golfers who wish to play must have a maximum handicap of 24 for Gents and 36 for Ladies. The availability is subject to ballot (50% of tee times are allocated this way), 48 hours prior to playing your names will be entered into the ballot and later that day the results will be revealed. If the ballot is unsuccessful we will arrange a game on one of the following (Gleneagles, Castle Course, Torrance, New)

A tour of St Andrews: St Andrews is internationally famous for its golf courses and its university, but it also provides a fascinating introduction to Scotland’s history: its ancient cathedral once housed the bones of St Andrew, the disciple of Christ, and was one of the most prestigious religious centres in Europe; while its castle tells stories of murder and social and religious upheaval.
