5 under-the-radar Scotland golf trips we're booking right now

Stephen Szurlej

It’s likely been awhile since many American golfers have planned an international golf trip. But as travel restrictions are finally easing around the globe, we’re more ready than ever to put together a golf itinerary.

Scottish golf needs no introduction. The best courses in Scotland are likely already on your bucket list—and if you’re not familiar, it’s easy enough to find them on a list like our world rankings . Where we endeavor to help you here, though, is finding the under-the-radar courses that might not be on your radar. One of the most rewarding parts of planning a great trip is mixing in a hidden gem—sometimes your group will enjoy that just as much as the top-ranked course.

For those thinking about planning a trip some time soon, we’re here to help. We asked our friends at Golfbreaks by PGA TOUR for a list of under-the-radar-type courses to add to your next Scottish golf trip. Scotland will be at the top of many golfers’ list, particularly with The Open coming to the Old Course at St. Andrews in 2022. Happy planning.

Scottish Highlands

Jerry Tarde

A list of under-the-radar Scottish courses needs to start with Brora (above). For those who frequent the area, Brora is often mentioned as a must-play. On paper, a 6,211-yard layout might seem like a letdown after playing Royal Dornoch , a top-five course in the world . But Brora hugs Kintradwell Bay with vistas that include views of a granite mountain, Ord of Caithness, looming over the sea—as well as sheep and cows grazing in the fairways. Brora earned a spot in most recent Golf Digest’s Most Fun Courses ranking—which every golfer who’s played the James Braid layout would agree with.

Also just slightly north of Dornoch is Golspie Golf Club , another gem designed by Braid that opened two years before Brora. Like Brora, it ain’t long at just over 6,000 yards. Golspie features more varied terrain but views just like Brora.

You’ll be familiar with the Moray Firth on any Highlands trip, but one of the better clubs in the area also has ‘Moray’ in the name. The Old Course at Moray was originally laid out by Old Tom Morris, and at 6,700-plus yards is significantly longer than the two shorter gems mentioned above. The Old Course hugs the coastline and is worth including on any Highlands itinerary—and if you’re looking for an easy 36-hole day, the New course at Moray, designed by Henry Cotton in 1979, is right there, too.

Also on the Moray Firth, just 20 minutes from Inverness on the Chanonry Peninsula, is Fortrose & Rosemarkie, which bills itself as the 15th-oldest club in the world—first opening in 1793. Braid redesigned the layout after new land was acquired in the 1930s. During World War II, the course was used as training grounds for practice landing ahead of D-Day.

Tain Golf Club also features an Old Tom Morris design a town over from Glenmorangie and just a 15-minute drive from Royal Dornoch . Tain often gets overlooked by the other great courses in the region, and though it lacks the seaside acreage of the other courses in this article, it’s a memorable layout with the back-to-back par-3 16th and 17th holes.

We are quite sure you have courses like Castle Stuart (above) and Nairn (and Royal Dornoch, of course) already on your Scottish Highlands trip plans. We hope this helps you round out your route.

St. Andrews

Anybody planning a trip to Scotland knows making a stop in the St. Andrews area is a must. While it may be tough—and certainly more expensive—to get a tee time at The Old Course , players can still hit up the Home of Golf for a round without breaking the bank. There are seven courses on site, including The New Course (above), designed by Old Tom Morris. If not for it sitting in the shadow of its older sibling, this course may see a lot more traffic.

From one of the oldest golfing societies in the world to another, Crail Golfing Society (above), 12 miles east of St. Andrews, offers two courses for play, but it’s the Balcomie Links that makes this list. Designed by Tom Morris in 1900, this course is relatively short by today’s standards, but offers little protection from a north wind blowing across St. Andrews Bay, which can wreck a round.

Mark Alexander

Located 10 miles south of St. Andrews on the north shore of the Firth of Forth, Leven Links is another course that used to be nine holes before Old Tom Morris added another nine. Leven regularly hosts Open Championship qualifying.

David Cannon

Back up north, across St. Andrews Bay and two miles west of Carnoustie , Panmure Links (above) is yet another Old Tom Morris design. It should come as no shock, then, to learn that the course has hosted Open Championship Final Qualifying several times. Ben Hogan famously spent two weeks at Panmure before the 1953 Open at Carnoustie where he went on to win his only Claret Jug, by four strokes.

Of course, while it’s always nice to stay within budget, sometimes it’s worth it to splurge a bit, too. Right next to Panmure , there’s Carnoustie , a permanent fixture in the Open rota with a propensity for final-round drama: Jean van de Velde collapsed there in 1999; Francesco Molinari held off Tiger Woods and others in 2018. The 18th hole is most famous for the chaos Barry Burn can cause, but the truth is, that’s just the third leg of a brutal three-hole finish. Before they get there, players must negotiate the 240-yard par-3 16th, followed by the 470-yard par-4 17th, where the Barry Burn must be crossed twice to reach the green.

Just east of St. Andrews, golf has been played on the land that Kingsbarns Golf Links occupies since 1793, but this course is relatively brand new, having only opened in 2000. This seaside links is part of the rotation of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.

Back down near the Firth of Forth, Dumbarnie just opened its doors to the public in May of 2020. What it lacks in history, this course more than makes up for in spectacular views. At least 14 holes feature views of the sea, and the 345-acre plot of land lends itself to stunning elevation changes uncommon to seaside links golf.

Aberdeen may be known more for its top-end options— Royal Aberdeen and Trump Internationa l (above)—but with 165 miles of coastline, there is no shortage of more affordable options. Referred to as the oil capital of Europe, Aberdeen is full of nightlife, pubs and restaurants.

First up, and just 10 minutes outside of the city, is Murcar Links . This place may not exactly be a “hidden” gem, given its location right next to some of the biggest courses in the area, but it could be overlooked. It’s not particularly long at just 6,500 yards from the tips, but can still punish golfers with massive sand dunes and thick, heathery rough. Say a prayer if the wind is up, especially if it’s coming from the north. A must-play when visiting Aberdeen, Murcar is the perfect place to either squeeze a quick round into a busy day or as the first or second leg of a 36-hole day with one of the nearby titans of the area.

Branching out a bit, roughly an hour south of the city in Angus, the world’s fifth oldest golf course awaits. Montrose Golf Links was completed in 1562, though it has been touched up a few times since then. Unlike most seaside links, Montrose is laid out in a T-shape, with the first nine playing along the coast, while the second plays perpendicular to it before turning back toward the clubhouse. On the other hand, the course also follows many other links “rules” as sandy turf, gorse bushes, deep bunkers and dunes are aplenty. Luckily, there’s another course on property that’s a bit easier and is often played as a warm up for the 1562 course.

In the opposite direction from Aberdeen, Cruden Bay Golf Club is just a bit more than half an hour north of the city. Golf had been played on this land for 100 years before the course we play today, yet another Old Tom Morris design, was open for play. Coming in at No. 53 on Golf Digest’s World’s 100 Greatest Courses , Cruden Bay hasn’t been touched since 1926. This links runs in a figure eight along the North Sea, with dunes the size of small buildings separating several holes as undulating fairways give way to punchbowl greens carved into those same dunes that serve as tee boxes and natural barriers.

Moving south and back toward the city, travelers may opt to spice things up with a round at Trump International or Royal Aberdeen . Trump International opened in 2012, after years of legal battles and environmental objections, with the goal of one day hosting a major championship. Though it has yet to attract the world’s best in an official capacity, there’s no doubt this course was built for them. Checking in at No. 42 on Golf Digest’s World’s Greatest Courses the 7,400-yard brute regularly plays through stiff crosswinds, while long rough, deviously placed bunkers and fast greens combine to test every facet of a player’s game. Choose your tee box carefully. This is not the place to try to be a hero.

Completing a full loop through the Aberdeen area, right across the street from Murcar is Royal Aberdeen . The Balgownie Links have hosted the 2005 British Senior Open, the 2011 Walker Cup and the 2014 Scottish Open, adding to one of the richest histories in the world. Royal Aberdeen, originally founded in 1780 as the Society of Golfers at Aberdeen, is the sixth-oldest club in the world. The first nine holes here are widely regarded as one of the finest outward nines in the world, playing parallel to the coast before looping back south to play toward the clubhouse on higher ground. The five-minute rule for looking for golf balls—now three minutes—was first introduced here in 1783. The Balgownie Links rank 64th on Golf Digest’s World’s 100 Greatest Courses .

Edinburgh and East Lothian

David Cannon/Getty Images

Every area of Scotland has its own charm. But the East Lothian/Edinburgh earned a spot in our most recent “Best Buddies Trips” ranking for its variety and volume of great courses. You start, of course, with some of the country’s greats like Muirfield and North Berwick (above, a favorite of many). But it seems like there are as many under-the-radar tracks here as any other spot.

As a 2013 Golf Digest article stated, Gullane is the perfect place to stay—as the town lives and breathes golf. And you’re a short walk to Gullane Golf Club , which has three courses—the No. 1 course, which consistently ranks inside our top 20 in Scotland, and the No. 2 , which also boasts great coastal views. Don’t sleep on Dunbar , Kilspindie , Luffness , and the original nine holes inside the Musselburgh racetrack, among the oldest courses in the world.

South west coast

The Ayrshire coast is home to bucket-list, championship layouts like Royal Troon and Turnberry’s Ailsa . But it’s the under-the-radar tracks that makes this a great destination for non-Scottish travelers.

Despite it hosting the first 12 Opens starting in 1860, Prestwick belongs on this list. Some call it too quirky, others would call it charming. Those who appreciate history and course design will mark it on their must-play list and decide for themselves where it falls on the quirky vs. charming matrix. With its roots in influencing course design for centuries, it’s certainly a must-see.

Western Gailes , like Prestwick , made Golf Digest’s latest World 100 rankings and represents what Ron Whitten called “perhaps the least-known grand old Scottish links.” And like Prestwick, it’s a tight design that is routed over and between rolling sand dunes. Sitting just north of Royal Troon, it was routed by Troon designer Willie Fernie, though the club insists its first greenkeeper Fred Morris laid out the course.

The hits keep coming in this area. Machrihanish is ranked 46th in the world but remains under-the-radar in respect to the other great Scottish courses for its relative difficulty to get to on the southern end of the Kintyre Peninsula. From a stirring opening tee shot across a corner of the Atlantic Ocean to the last putt, this has remained one of the most pure links experiences since Old Tom Morris extended the course to 18 holes in 1879.

Among worthy additions to your itinerary, Dundonald Links should be near the top. Kyle Phillips did a marvelous job with a renewed layout of the old Southern Gailes that’s worthy of recognition even in the same neighborhood as these other great courses.

How to Plan a Golf Trip to Scotland – 12 Important Decisions

There’s a good chance you’re here because you’ve asked a common question: How do I plan a golf trip to Scotland? Getting your trip from the idea phase to firmly on the calendar requires navigating a series of important decisions. Some are a little more important to others, but each of these is vital to the overall success of your trip.

How to Plan a Golf Trip to Scotland

We’ve covered 12 of the most important decisions for planning a Scotland golf trip in the following infographic. Each decision is covered in further detail below, along with links to in-depth guides related to the question at hand.

Type of Trip

Most golf trips to Scotland start as just an idea. Perhaps you and a few buddies dreamed up the plan in the grill room over post-round cocktails. Maybe you’ve considered a family golf trip to Scotland . Or maybe you and a group of couples from the club would like to take a trip together. In that case, here are the best destinations for couples golf trips across the pond.

Whatever the case, our advice is to pick one style and stick with it. A blended approach between buddies, family, and couples is often less than ideal.

The Invite List

This decision, perhaps more than any other, can make or break your golf trip. So much so, that we’ve devoted an entire guide to the topic of selecting your invite list for a golf trip to Scotland . As the old saying goes, one sour grape can spoil the entire bunch. Choose your travel companions wisely.

Your Budget

Money may be an uncomfortable topic, but it’s vital that you and your travel companions are on the same page in terms of budget. Yet another example of why the invite list is so important. Your budget will also influence some of the other important decisions you’ll have to make while planning a Scotland golf trip. By covering this topic upfront, the planning process will go smoother and you’ll eliminate the possibility of some friction during the trip itself.

When setting your budget, it’s important to first understand all of the factors that will impact your final price. To that end, we’d suggest reading How Much Does a Golf Trip to Scotland Cost ?

DIY or Golf Travel Company

Planning the average Scotland golf trip requires the research and execution of roughly 40-50 separate reservations. That doesn’t include the countless other decisions you’ll make along the way, such as where to eat and what to see. The question to ask yourself is whether you can afford the amount of valuable time that’s needed to successfully pull it all together on your own. If you have any doubts, then perhaps it’s best to “hit the easy button” and enlist the service of an expert.

Golf travel companies will handle all of the heavy lifting when planning your Scotland golf trip, but choosing the right one presents its own conundrum. That’s why we’ve shared our insight on identifying the best golf travel companies for your trip.

Spoiler alert: It’s not always us .

Custom or Stock

If you opt for the “hire an expert” route, it’s important to understand that not all golf travel companies are created equally. Many companies offer a variety of pre-packaged itineraries designed for the masses. For some, these itineraries will suit their group just fine. For others, a more customized approach is required. To understand the key differences between the two, we’d suggest reading about the benefits of custom Scotland golf packages before pin-pointing your itinerary.

Self-Drive or Driver-Host

Next to your invite list, no decision will have a greater impact on your journey than choosing between a self-drive trip and hiring a Driver-Host. Most H&B travelers prefer to sit back and let a local handle the driving as opposed to dealing with the stress themselves. This decision may impact your earlier answer to the budget question, however the effect on your overall cost is minimal with 8 travelers in your group. But, as explained in the benefits of hiring a Driver-Host , the impact on your overall experience simply can’t be measured.

Our free guide includes over 40 pages of valuable insight, plus links to nearly 50 additional resources , on Golf and the Good Life in Scotland.

In our experience, the work and family obligations of you and your travel companions will influence the dates of your trip more than anything else. There are some important considerations, however, when choosing the best time of year for a Scotland golf trip . Everything from overall cost to ease of availability to other events in the area may sway your decision here.

Where to Go

Scotland is home to an abundance of bucket-list worthy golf courses. Unless you have a couple of months to devote to the task, playing them all in a single trip is simply impossible. Fortunately, these courses are generally clustered within half a dozen regions around the country. Our suggestion is to divide and conquer. Pick one or two of the best regions for Scotland golf trips and leave the others for your next journey.

Courses to Play

Even if you’ve wisely narrowed your trip to just a couple of regions in Scotland, narrowing down which courses to play is still quite a dilemma. Your selected regions are likely home to Open Championship venues , Top 100 golf courses in Scotland , and other courses each that are worthy of a place on your itinerary.

Unless you’re planning on mixing in some 54-hole days, seeing them all will be tough to manage. We’ve explained how to choose where to play on a golf trip to Scotland in further detail here.

The key takeaway: You probably can’t play them all .

How Much Golf

This may be a golf trip, but it’s important for your group to decide just how devoted to golf they want the expedition to be. Should you throw in one of the best 36-hole days in Scotland or take an entire day off to rest and enjoy some sightseeing? We’d suggest polling your group on this topic before putting any plans to paper. You may find a consensus is lacking. If so, revisit the benefits of a custom itinerary mentioned above.

What to Pack

The planning phase is completed, your departure date is fast approaching, and the suitcase has come out of the closet. This is one of the most exciting times of your Scotland golf trip. It’s also a time where it’s very easy to overdo it. That’s why we’ve shared this Scotland golf trip packing list , as well as what you should leave at home .

It’s important to remember that golf trips to Scotland are not excluded from an old adage: Pack half the clothes and twice the money.

If all of this sounds like a lot to manage, that’s because it is.

Although these are some of the most important decisions for planning a Scotland golf trip, they’re just the bare minimum required to get your trip off the ground. A seemingly endless supply of decisions, both before and during the journey, will follow along until the moment you return home. Even then, the relief may be short lived. Because as many of the H&B Forces will attest, there’s one decision that’s likely to remain perpetually unresolved.

Where to Next

Whether it’s your first or tenth trip to The Home of Golf, the journey is sure to provide a wealth of unforgettable memories and an unwavering desire to return.

Of course, as we covered above, there’s an easy way to take the burden of these decisions off your back and place them in the hands of an expert.

All that it takes to do so is a little info in the form at the link below. We’ll take it from there.

The long daylight hours from May to September attracts many golfers to Scotland. During June, the sunlight hours can be from 4:30am to 10:00am ideal for those wishing to play more than one round. Typically, June, July and August are the busiest months for visitors golfing in Scotland.

However, travelling during shoulder season – March/April or late October/November may be a better option for certain people due to the savings which can be made at a number of the courses. Things to be aware of especially in the months of March and November is that some courses require players to play off fairway mats and they may also have winter greens in use.

This is always quite a difficult question to answer as Scottish weather is known to be very unpredictable! You can have a beautiful day in March and then a cold week of rain in August, therefore our advice is to come prepared for all weather types and pack plenty of layers, warm clothing and waterproofs – during just one round of golf in Scotland you can experience all 4 seasons!

Scotland’s average summer temperature ranges from 60-74F (or 15-23°), with temperatures usually highest during July and August. However, July and August can sometimes experience more rain than the months of April and May. Temperatures begin to drop in September and October and these months can also bring more wet weather.

Due to ever growing demand of golf in Scotland, we recommend to try and start planning your trip around 18-12 months prior to secure your preferred courses. Especially if you are looking to play The Open venues such as The Old Course, Muirfield and Troon.

Visitors always receive a warm Scottish welcome and are treated like a member for the day with access to all the facilities including locker rooms, showers and practice areas/driving ranges if available. Practically all golf clubs also have a nice bar and restaurant where you can enjoy a bite to eat either before or after your round.

A range of Welcome Schemes have been developed by Visit Scotland including the ‘Visiting Golfers Welcome’ scheme which recognises the special efforts made by golf clubs to provide and accommodate visiting golfers. Follow the link to see which golf clubs and courses are participating in the scheme:  Visiting Golfers Scheme .

Generally, most clubs ask for golfers to wear appropriate golfing attire with collared shirts or turtlenecks. Shorts are allowed as long as they are tailored (some courses also require knee length socks if wearing shorts).

Denim, jeans, t-shirts, cargo or combat trousers/shorts, tracksuits, rugby and football shirts are not permitted on the course or in the clubhouse. Sometimes clubs will allow smart denim jeans in the clubhouse. The majority of clubs also do not allow golf shoes within the clubhouse.

A formal dress code of jacket and tie is required if dining at Muirfield and Prestwick Golf Club .

More information can be provided on request for specific courses.

Yes, there are certain golf clubs that require a handicap certificate to play especially the bigger championship courses. The Old Course in St Andrews has a very strict policy in place and you must show your handicap certificate to the starter. The maximum handicap at The Old Course is 24 for men and 36 for ladies. Muirfield is lower at 18 for both men and ladies. Some clubs are more lenient; however, we always recommend for our clients to bring their handicap certificate with them.

Sensational trip, and fantastic courses. Think the general consensus was West Hill was the best out of the 3, very easy on the eye. Hotel was very good and we enjoyed a top notch meal at The Red Lion, Horsell. All in all a super trip. Tim Scott, England - September 2023

We were a group of four traveling to Scotland for my 50th birthday this September. We initially contacted Callum in February and right from the get go he provided exemplary service. We had quite a diverse itinerary that included three rounds of golf (Kingsbarns, Jubilee and Nairn), skeet shooting, whisky distilleries (Glenlivet and Tomatin) and historic sites and he put it all together with perfect timing. His knowledge of the towns and regions made some long drives feel like a history lesson and we soaked it all in. Hotels, restaurants and club rentals were all arranged to perfection. At the conclusion of our quick four days we all left feeling like we had made a new friend. If you are planning a golf trip to Scotland (or even Ireland), you’ll be in good hands with Callum. Photo credit www.torvalmork.com Torval Mork, Canada - September 2023

Callum was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He worked with us to set up a perfect trip to the Ayrshire coastal area. Royal Troon, Turnberry Ailsa and 5 other courses. He set up local dinner times for us and included a scotch tasting at The Jar in Troon. Picked us up at the airport personally and took us to our hotel, had transportation arranged for the remainder of the week and then joined us on our last night for dinner and then back to Edinburgh for our return flight home. If you are even considering a trip to Great Britain, I highly recommend you check out Golf Concierge Scotland. You won't be disappointed. Daniel Ferris, New Jersey, USA - June 2023

Thanks a million for the fantastic organisation of our Scotland Golftrip. Great courses, great agenda, great recommendations on accommodation and food - it was just a super perfect golf outing - thanks to you. We would always come back and make good use of your knowledge and organisational skills - thus we had the most enjoyable time in the kingdom of golf. WE WILL BE BACK. All the best Norbert Norbert Podschlapp - Germany, June 2023

Our group are still talking about how much we enjoyed the Ireland experience and coming back for more!! Thank you for all your help! Thomas Halsted - Connecticut, USA - May 2023
