“My new go-to resource for planning a trip to golf’s homeland . . . Immaculately designed and crammed with beautiful photography.” —Brian Kendall, Canadian Golf Traveller
 
Every golf course around the globe has one thing in common—they are all unique. No two courses are ever the same. Golf is the only major sport that offers a different experience wherever you go.
 
The aim of this guide is to offer a golfer all the information they would require to enjoy a great round of golf at the best courses Scotland has to offer. You will find all the essential information you need here—from par score, yardage, and cost of a round to booking procedure and how best to play the course. Universally regarded as the birthplace of the modern game, Scotland boasts some of the finest courses in the world: Royal Troon; Turnberry; and the fabled Old Course, St Andrews, to name just a few. These are the courses all keen golfers would wish to play given the opportunity.
 
“Very well written and treads a deft line between the scholarly and the light-hearted . . . I closed the book wanting to hop on a train, travel up to the Auld Grey shores and play golf: you can’t pay a travel book a higher compliment than that.” —Will Trinkwon, Golfshake.com
 
“A book where pure enjoyment leaps from every page.” —For the Love of Books
 
“There are few golfers in the world who don’t yearn for a Scottish golf trip one day and this book will most definitely whet your appetite and help you plan that special trip.” —UK Golf Guy
