For the duration of the week, you'll travel in a spacious, luxury vehicle, allowing you to relax and enjoy the scenic drives between each destination. There will be time for a light meal or refreshment before your game.
Golf at Prestwick:
Ranked 63rd in the World by Golf Magazine
Founded in 1851 by Old Tom Morris, Prestwick is one of the most historic courses in the world and the original host of The Open Championship, staging the first ten, and 24 in total. This is pure, traditional Scottish links golf, filled with personality and heritage. Prestwick's quirks are part of its enduring charm, from the dramatic Alps and Himalayas holes to the formidable Cardinal bunker. Every step here connects you with the game’s earliest roots. After play, take a moment to explore the clubhouse, which is steeped in golfing history and atmosphere — an essential experience for any true golf enthusiast.
Check in at Marine Troon:
Overlooking Royal Troon Golf Club and the Ayrshire coastline, The Marine Hotel blends coastal charm with refined comfort. This four-star retreat features elegantly designed rooms with contemporary amenities and soothing interiors. Guests can enjoy superb dining in the hotel’s restaurants, where locally sourced produce and fresh seafood are central to the menus. Whether you choose to unwind with a drink by the sea or take in the view of the course, The Marine Hotel offers the ideal start to your Scottish journey.
Day 2:
Transfer to Turnberry
Golf at Turnberry (Ailsa Course):
Ranked 18th in the World by Golf Magazine
Today you'll play one of the world’s great courses — the Ailsa at Turnberry. With sweeping ocean views, rugged cliffs, and the unmistakable silhouette of Ailsa Craig in the distance, Turnberry is among golf’s most picturesque settings. The course’s legacy includes the legendary 1977 Open Championship duel between Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson, which cemented its place in golfing folklore. A major renovation in 2016 by architect Martin Ebert further enhanced the course’s brilliance. The transformation, particularly across holes 9 to 11, brought the sea dramatically into play, elevating both beauty and strategy. The Ailsa is now widely regarded as one of Scotland's finest and most memorable layouts.

Day 3:
Golf at Royal Troon:
Ranked 66th in the World by Golf Magazine
A nine-time host of The Open Championship, Royal Troon is a classic and demanding links, offering a true test of skill and precision. Its famous 8th hole, the Postage Stamp, is one of the most iconic par threes in the game — short, beautiful, and deceptively challenging. The course stretches along the Ayrshire coast, with striking views across to Ailsa Craig and the Isle of Arran. History, scenery, and character combine to make Royal Troon a superb and memorable round for any golfer.
Return to Hotel
Day 4:
Check out and transfer to Carnoustie – 2 hours 30 mins
Golf at Carnoustie:
Ranked 39th in the World by Golf Magazine
Mention Carnoustie and most golfers immediately think of challenge — and rightly so. Known affectionately (and fearfully) as Carnasty, this is one of the most exacting and strategic layouts in championship golf. The closing stretch is particularly formidable, with the Barry Burn winding across the fairways to test even the most experienced players. Yet beyond its difficulty lies a course of rare character, meticulously designed, brilliantly strategic, and immensely rewarding. Playing Carnoustie is to experience golf at its most pure and uncompromising.
Transfer to St Andrews – 1 Hour
Check in at The Old Course Hotel & Spa:
Overlooking the famous 17th hole of the Old Course, this five-star hotel is one of Europe’s most renowned golfing addresses. The Old Course Hotel combines timeless sophistication with exceptional comfort, offering panoramic views across the Old Course and West Sands Beach. Within the hotel, you'll find the award-winning Kohler Waters Spa and several acclaimed restaurants and bars — all perfect places to relax after a day on the links. It’s not an exaggeration to say this is among the finest golf hotels in the world.
Day 5:
Golf at Kingsbarns:
Ranked 81st in the World by Golf Magazine
It’s hard to imagine that Kingsbarns was once a flat expanse of farmland. Thanks to the vision of Mark Parsinen and architect Kyle Phillips, it now stands as one of Scotland's most admired modern links. Flowing naturally along the Fife coastline, the course makes full use of its North Sea frontage, offering both strategic brilliance and breathtaking views. The design feels timeless, as though it has been shaped by nature itself, and the result is a course that complements its historic neighbours perfectly. Kingsbarns is modern links golf at its most elegant and rewarding.
Return to Hotel
Day 6:
Day at Leisure
Today is yours to enjoy as you wish. You may choose to explore more of St Andrews, visit a local distillery or castle, or simply unwind in the spa at your hotel. If the Old Course is open, your group will also have the opportunity to enter the daily ballot for a chance to play this most iconic of courses — a fitting highlight should fortune smile upon you.
Day 7:
Golf at Dumbarnie:
Dumbarnie Links, designed by former Ryder Cup player Clive Clark, has swiftly established itself as one of Scotland’s most enjoyable and scenic modern courses. Built along the Fife coastline, Dumbarnie offers wide fairways, beautifully contoured greens, and a layout that balances challenge with playability. Its elevated tees and sweeping views across the Firth of Forth make for a truly uplifting round. With imaginative hole designs and impeccable conditioning, Dumbarnie provides a fresh, contemporary take on the Scottish links experience.
