St Andrews

On the east coast, in the Kingdom of Fife, the charming university town of St. Andrews is ideal for a leisurely walking tour and, of course, flush with seven courses in and around town as part of the Links Trust. The conversation begins at the Home of Golf, the Old Course, where PerryGolf proudly arranges more guaranteed access than any other tour operator in America as an inaugural member of the St Andrews Links Authorised Provider program. Highly respected Kingsbarns is found 10 minutes south of town, near Crail, and just beyond is the delightful Fairmont St Andrews with The Kittocks and The Torrance courses. Less than an hour north of St Andrews is regular host of The Open, Carnoustie where Francesco Molinari’s bogey-free weekend cleared a path to the Claret Jug in 2018. An hour northwest is renowned Gleneagles Hotel, one of the world’s most respected golf and spa resorts and home to a fine design from James Braid and some of Jack Nicklaus’ finest work at the PGA Centenary Course which played host to 2014 Ryder Cup.

East Lothian

Ninety minutes south of St Andrews and 30 minutes from Edinburgh, is East Lothian where you will find yet another collection of clubs representing the essence of links golf. Sixteen-time Open host Muirfield, the three courses at Gullane, as well as the rustic gems of North Berwick, Dunbar and Craigielaw are situated in succession along the coast each owning histories reaching back to the roots of the game. Edinburgh, the capital city of Scotland, is famous for its Parliament, Castle, Holyrood Palace, history, architecture, festivals and city walking. The Old Town is where you will find the greatest gathering of historical buildings while the New Town is more a celebration of business, order and classical Georgian architecture.

Ayrshire

On the west, Ayrshire Coast, 2 hours from St Andrews, you'll find the magnificently remodeled Ailsa Course at Trump Turnberry along with fellow member of The Open rota, Royal Troon where Henrik Stenson, Arnold Palmer and Tom Watson have won the Claret Jug. Enjoy the links at Western Gailes and not to be missed is Prestwick, a true throwback steeped in history as the site of the first Open in 1860. Across the Firth of Clyde on the Mull of Kintyre, those possessing the deepest love of links golf will relish a shot at venerable Machrihanish along with impressive newcomer Machrihanish Dunes. Not only would a visit distinguish the career of any traveling golfer, it is also an opportunity to explore one of Scotland’s most famous whisky distilling regions.

Glasgow nearby is Scotland's biggest city serviced with a range of international airlines. The city has evolved from a heavily industrial center to become one of Great Britain's most intriguing metropolises. From the soberly handsome Victorian buildings, legacies of wealth generated from manufacturing and trade, and museums to the stylish bars, excellent restaurants and one of Britain's best live-music scenes as well as world class shopping, the city is truly captivating.

The Highlands

Nearly three hours north of St Andrews is Inverness in the Scottish Highlands. From here you’ll play famous Royal Dornoch, whose plateau greens are a trademark design feature that Donald Ross took from his home course and used on many of his classic designs in the States. Fifteen minutes from Inverness is the exceptional Castle Stuart, a Mark Parsinen – Gil Hanse collaboration voted the best new course in the world in 2009 by Golf Magazine. Nairn, Dunbar, Brora, Moray and Tain are longstanding “hidden gems” enjoyed by northern visitors who will also want to enjoy Royal Aberdeen and Cruden Bay on the way up or back plus the striking Trump International Scotland.

The heart of single malt whisky production in Scotland is located between Aberdeen and Inverness in Speyside. Iconic brands like Macallan, Glenfiddich and The Glenlivet are found here along with nearly 50 other distilleries.
