FAQ’s From Golfers Visiting Scotland

Here’s a list of some frequently asked questions from our guests who visit Scotland to golf: 

What is the best month to go to Scotland for golf?

The golf season in Scotland is typically from April to September as this is when the weather is likely to be at its best. Demand for golf in Scotland tends to be at its highest from June to August.

However, some courses can be played all year round, such as links courses. Links courses are usually built on sandy coastland that offers a firmer playing surface than parkland and heathland courses, meaning it is more resistant to bad weather.

The cost of playing golf in Scotland can vary depending on the golf course, and the time of the year. Certain golf courses such as Trump Turnberry are renowned for being more expensive. You will also pay more to play golf when demand is at highest during the summer months. Golf courses tend to be a bit cheaper in April and October. 

The price of a Scotland golf tour with Braw Scottish Tours will vary as every tour we offer can be 100% custom tailored to the desires of your group. Once we have an indication of what you are looking to be included in your golf tour in Scotland, we can then provide you with an exact cost.

St. Andrews is considered the most famous golf town in Scotland, given the fact that St. Andrews is the home of golf! Golf was invented in Scotland in the 15th century, with the first 18 hole round being created at the Old Course at St. Andrews in 1764. The Old Course is the most famous golf course in St.Andrews.

Anyone can play the Old Course, but you must have a handicap in order to play. The handicap is a maximum of 36 for men, women and juniors (U15), and you must present your valid handicap certificate on the day of play. You can present your handicap certificate in either paper or digital form.

The Open Championship is arguably the most famous golf tournament in Scotland. It’s the oldest golf tournament in the world and one of the most prestigious. Founded in 1860, it was originally held annually at Prestwick Golf Club. However, it now tends to rotate between courses over a 5 year period. This is usually 3 golf courses in Scotland and 2 in England, although it was held in Northern Ireland in 2019.
