UK Golf Vacations
Invented in Scotland during the 15th Century, golf has grown to become a truly global game, with players now driving from tees to greens in hundreds of different countries. Scotland continues to uphold its legacy as the home of golf, boasting some of the world’s finest courses, particularly the historic links style of natural fairways and stunning sea views.
Make a pilgrimage to Royal St Andrew’s or revel in the 18 holes of Carnoustie, Gleneagles, Muirfield, Balcomie or Royal Troon. There are also many hidden gems on which to test your calibre with the clubs, like Nairn and Royal Dornoch, or the remote challenges of Machrihanish on the Kintyre Peninsula and the historic Old Tom Morris course of South Uist’s Askernish.
As befitting an international sport, there are many equally fine places to play in our other favourite countries. Challenge yourself to make par at Royal Portrush in Co. Antrim or swing sweetly on the splendid links at Lahinch, County Clare. There’s Sunningdale, Royal Birkdale and Swinley Forest in England to enjoy and we can even help find you fine French fairways like Oise’s Golf de Morfontaine.
Whatever your handicap, Turas can help you avoid the rough and birdie the best courses of Scotland and beyond. And if you need help with discovering the ideal 19th Hole, we’ve got that in the bag too.
