Entered into the Top 100 Courses in the World in the 2007 Rankings.

Your Itinerary
The MacDonald Marine Hotel & Spa is a delightful Victorian turreted mansion, which proudly stands 'chateau-like', overlooking the 16th green of the magnificent North Berwick, West links Golf Course. It commands superb views past the sandy beaches of the firth of Forth to the distant shores of the golfing kingdom of Fife obster boats and yachts sail past, making their way to and from the picturesque sandstone harbor of North Berwick.

The refurbishment has taken in all public areas providing havens of tranquility and hubs of activity. Luxurious fabrics, open log fires and deep chairs are situated thoroughout the lounges and a traditional library retreat is available to bury you head in a good book.<Day 3 ~ The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers
Golf today on Muirfield (tbc), home of the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers, and consistently ranked as Scotland's finest course. The course of today was laid out by Harry Colt. The clockwise front nine envelopes the anti-clockwise back nine creating the ultimate layout which causes you to play in a variety of wind directions. The Open Championship was held at Muirfield for the 16th time in 2013 when Phil Mickelson claimed the Claret Jug .
Please note strict handicap limits are set by the club. Men & Ladies 18.
<Day 4 ~ Carnoustie Golf Links
Today play Carnoustie (tbc). With its thick rough and devilish bunkers, Carnoustie is known as one of the world’s most challenging links courses 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 to avoid the clever placement of the fairway bunkers and approach shots demand precision to greens heavily guarded by steep bunkers and burns. Arguably the toughest and most memorable finishing holes in championship golf. A state of the art clubhouse facilty was completed in time for the 2018 Open Championship, containing seven Foresight simulators and the excellent Rookery Restaurant with panoramic views of the golf courses and the sea.

Golf Schedule
North Berwick
Like St.Andrews the links starts and finishes in the town. One of Scotland's earliest golf clubs and correspondingly a very traditional links layout located along the Firth of Forth. The West Course requires unusual shotmaking, along with blind shots and play over stone dykes as the sea comes into play on six holes, and is a long, often wet hazard depending on the tide. Features the par 3, 15th 'Redan' which is probably the most frequently copied short hole in the world.
Muirfield
Legends of the game have raised high the Claret Jug at Muirfield. Vardon, Hagen, Player, Nicklaus, Trevino, Watson, Faldo (twice), Els and Mickelson claimed the Open Championship on this magnificent course that's consistently identified an elite golfer from the era to emerge as Champion Golfer of the Year. Recent enhancements by noted architect Martin Hawtree should enable the course to remain relevant for decades to come. The 18th is one of the best finishing holes in golf, a daunting par-4.
Carnoustie
While the links is relatively flat it is exposed to the elements. A combination of length and accuracy are required as golfers face narrow corridors from the tee. Approach shots demand precision to the greens heavily guarded by steep bunkers and burns. Arguably the toughest finishing holes in championship golf, errant shots are severely penalized. Ben Hogan won The 82nd Open at Carnoustie in his lone appearance, in 1953. Tom Watson and Gary Player also hoisted the Claret Jug here.
St Andrews - New Course
Several holes at the oldest ‘New’ course in the world have been carved through punitive gorse, so accurate tee shots are required. Set in contrast to the Old Course, this Old Tom Morris design includes undulating fairways and severely sloped greens to put on display a fine test of links golf. The 17th can be a make-or-break par-3 coming home. It measures 229 yards from the back tees, forcing golfers to combine power and precision to find the green in regulation.
St Andrews - Old Course
This is the ''Home of Golf''. The Old Course has played host to the greatest golfers and produced many of golf's dramatic moments. Wide double fairways, seven extensive double greens, and a multitude of intimidating bunkers are just some of the unique features you will encounter. Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods each hoisted the Claret Jug on two occasions here and Bobby Jones claimed the Open Championship here. Negotiating the Valley of Sin at the short par 4 18th always makes for a tasty finish.
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 champion-standard traditional Scottish links course.
