Scotland offers an unparalleled golfing experience steeped in history and tradition. The birthplace of the sport is home to more than 550 venues, including the iconic St Andrews Old Course, with its mix of challenging links and inland offerings. Scotland’s rugged coastal landscapes and rolling hills create a dramatic backdrop for play.
Beyond golf, Scotland charms with its rich culture, historic castles, and warm hospitality. Visit St Andrews Castle, a ruined medieval fortress with a history dating back to the 13th century or take a tour of a whisky distillery to sample the country's famous spirit.
The best time to visit Scotland for golf is from May to September, when the weather is milder and daylight hours are longer. July and August are peak tourist seasons, so consider May, June, or September for a balance of good weather and fewer crowds.
