Golf in the Scottish Highlands and Attend The 2014 Ryder Cup

PerryGolf has a proud history of over 20 years delivering innovative and successful programs to the Ryder Cup in Europe.  Previous Ryder Cups have included the fabled ocean liner QE2 to Valderrama in Spain in 1997 followed by a series of small ship charters that sailed the British Isles for links golf and sightseeing combined with attendance to the Matches. What’s next? The 2014 Ryder Cup at Gleneagles PGA Centenary Course, and this is one PerryGolf’s trip you don’t want to miss…


The 2014 Ryder Cup is just around the corner!  Although the actual dates aren’t until September 26-28, opportunities for attending are narrowing and golf packages are filling up.  If the addition of famous links golf can complement your visit to Scotland for the Ryder Cup, PerryGolf has a 3 Pre-Ryder Cup packages for consideration that include three nights and three rounds of golf September 21-24:

Playing the Old Course at St Andrews in 2014

As sure as the summer begins to draw to a close, it is almost time to start making plans for next summer and securing a tee time on the Old Course at St Andrews. As I have written previously, with a thorough explanation about how to play the Old Course, the early September deadline is drawing closer.

 

One minor, but significantly helpful change has been moving the opening time for applications from 10am in Scotland (5 am on the East Coast) to 2pm (a more agreeable 9am on the East Coast!).

With the Ryder Cup in Scotland in 2014 and the Open Championship returning to the Old Course in 2015, I think it is fair to assume that demand to play at the “Home of Golf” will continue to far outstrip available supply, thus appropriate planning is the order of the day and now is the time to get commitments from your prospective travel partners.
