The Road Less Travelled
Castle Stuart
No-one who travels here can fail to be struck by a sense of being somewhere different. The sheer atmosphere of these northlands makes a big impression. The Northern Scotland region is of the most stimulating places in Britain to play a round of golf, with many varied links courses including Royal Dornoch ( the St Andrews of the North ) and other top 100 rated courses such as Machrihanish, Castle Stuart, Trump Scotland, and Cruden Bay. Add Royal Aberdeen, Murcar & Nairn and you have a wonderful golfing destination...
To compliment the golf, history and natural scenery it is only fitting to stay at some wonderful accommodation. And with this hosted tour we have the opportunity to live it up with 5 star accommodation. Inverlochy Castle leads the way as one of Scotlands leading boutique luxury hotels, and we enjoy a short stay there. And as with all our hosted tours for couples we make sure we take in the local culture and see all the key sightseeing highlights. We visit the gorgeous gardens on the River Dee, take in some hawking, visit distilleries, and ride Harry Potter's Hogwart's express train ( known as The Jabobite in the real world)
Those with a little more time can choose to extend their northern scotland trip. Why not warm up by playing at St Andrews Old Course, Kingsbarn, and Carnoustie?
And maybe you can finish by adding Gleneagles!
One thing for sure is that there are no shortage of wonderful courses to play in northern Scotland

Castle Stuart
Castle Stuart has been conceived to be for the Highlands - a beacon reaching out to golfers throughout the world.
Come and experience 'The Rumple'.

Machrihanish
he Machrihanish golf course is a superbly presented 18 hole links golf course following the natural contours of the dunes running parallel to the atlantic and Machrihanish bay.
The opening hole presents one of the greatest views in golf followed by a further 17 well manicured and challenging holes of true links golf.
Royal Dornoch
Dornoch Golf Club was formed in 1877, became Royal in 1906 courtesy of King Edward VII, and has always been operated as a private members club. However, since the very beginning, the members and the people of Dornoch have realised the joy that their course gives to golfers and the value of the tourism to the area so have welcomed visitors ever since the first ball was struck.
Cruden Bay
Cruden Bay is situated on the east coast of Scotland 23 miles north of Aberdeen and 8 miles south of Peterhead.
It is claimed that golf was played in the village of Cruden Bay as early as 1791. The original course, on the present site, was commissioned by the Great North of Scotland Railway (GNSR) following the expansion of the railways at the end of the 19th century, it was designed by Old Tom Morris of St Andrews, and opened in 1899.
Machrihanish Dunes
In Scotland, true links golf courses are not created, they are born of the land. More than 130 years ago, Old Tom Morris recognized the potential for great golf here in this rugged, romantic corner of Scotland, saying: âThe Almichty Maun hae had gowf in his eâe when he made this place.â
And now, with the mighty Atlantic providing a dramatic backdrop, todayâs golfers can enjoy the game as it was meant to be played.
Trump International
The course has a Par of 72 and a maximum length of just over 7400 yards, and follows a classical pattern of two out-and-back loops of nine holes.
All 18 holes thread their way engagingly through the dunes, rising to find views of the sea and coastline, plunging into secluded valleys, offering a sequence of superlative topography. Alternating between spaciousness and enclosure panoramic views, and wildlife habitats surround the golf holes. Each hole has 5 separate tees catering for all classes of golfer.
