Play today at Western Gailes, rated by many visitors to
Scotland as its finest ''unknown'', and perhaps its most enjoyable. The course
relies on natural defenses created by the sand dunes and wind. A traditional
links layout that plays in a loop with its toughest stretch along the banks of
the dunes that generally plays into the prevailing wind.

Day 4
Play the Ailsa Course at Turnberry. Lying on a spectacular
curve of rockbound coast in the southern reaches of Ayrshire. The coastal
scenery is magnificent especially from the 4th through the 11th passing the
famous landmark lighthouse at the turn. This is a demanding links, and an ever
present wind will make for a tough examination of your golfing skills. In 2009,
the Ailsa Course hosted the Open Championship for the 4th time when golfing
legend Tom Watson lost out to Stewart Cink in a play off for the Claret Jug.

Day
5
Today play Carnoustie, host to the British Open on seven
occasions and considered by many to be the most challenging of all Open venues.
While the links is relatively flat it is exposed to the elements. A combination
of length and accuracy are required from the tee and approach shots demand
precision to the greens heavily guarded by steep bunkers and burns. Arguably the
toughest finishing holes in championship golf, the course gained much praise
following a testing but fair set up for the 2007 Open Championship. Please note
there is one golf cart available to hire for medical certificate holders.
Certain restrictions may apply, please advise your Golf Travel
Specialist.

Today play Kingsbarns. Its historical origins date back to
1793. Its sandy, linksland soils are the basis for this heritage, and produce
the fine-bladed fescues which are the cornerstone of fast-and-firm playing
surfaces that characterise links golf. Designed by Kyle Phillips and opened anew
in 2000, its rebirth has been shared with golfers from near and far with
outstanding reviews. The links features spacious rolling fairways, large greens,
and exceptional sea views on every hole. A challenging yet enjoyable
