Inspired by the great links courses of Britain, particularly those on land that are less dominated by dunes, Craigielaw is equal to many of the finest examples of such courses, some of which are conveniently located nearby in the East Lothian area.

Designed by Donald Steel & Co., the course opened in 2001, and in this short period has been host to many national events, including the 2006 Scottish Amateur Strokeplay Championship, and was a qualifying course for the 2007 British Seniors Open at Muirfield.

With challenging greens, cavernous bunkers, and spectacular views over the Firth of Forth, Gullane Hill, and out towards Edinburgh and Fife, Craigielaw Golf Club is an experience not to be missed.

Kilspindie Golf Club is a charming links golf course located on Scotland’s Golf Coast, close to the elite courses of Muirfield, Gullane, and Renaissance Club. From its very beginnings, Kilspindie built a reputation as a warm and welcoming Club. To this day, a warm welcome is extended to all golfers.

The course is also very popular with the growing society of Hickory Golfers and is a host course for the Scottish Hickory Golf Tour.  Few changes have been made to Kilspindie links in over a century, so golfers – irrespective of their standard of play – can continue to enjoy the same challenges as have so many in the past. The course is a magnet for hickory-shafted enthusiasts, and the Club can even arrange to hire you a set should you care to try it.

Kilspindie is a Hidden Gem that is simply a joy to play.  Although the course is just 5500 yards from the Medal Tees, this Hidden Gem is likely to be one of your favourite golf experiences in Scotland.   You must be accurate and avoid its well-placed bunkers and perfect green complexes whilst enjoying some spectacular views of the Firth of Forth and the coast. There’s also the opportunity to experience a variety of birds, plants, and Marine Mammals, such as Seals, which are courtesy of the nearby nature reserve, a breeding ground and resting place for many birds and wildlife.

Its time to play one of Scotland’s very best hidden gems. The Glen Golf Course, which is also known as North Berwick’s East Links, is sometimes overlooked by golfers as a result of the world-class golf courses that surround it.

The Glen is set on a clifftop high above the town. You can expect a visually stunning golf experience with wonderful elevated views of North Berwick, the Bass Rock, the historic Tantallon Castle, and the beach, which runs adjacent to a number of back 9 holes. On a clear day, you can see over the Firth of Forth to Fife to the new Dunbarnie Links.

Expect numerous good golf holes and some of the best green complexes (3rd hole) in the area. Sea Hole, the spectacular 13th, is set on the edge of the cliff where the wind howls. This hole is fun to play and is one of the most photographed par 3s in Scotland.

Finally, your time on Scotland's East Coast ends with a round of Golf on Craigiellaw LINKS.  Craigielaw is a Scottish Open Qualifier and host course for the 2025 Scottish Seniors Open.  Your day starts with Breakfast, followed by 18 holes of golf.  After the golf, your tour bus will collect you and take you to the Scottish Highlands. 

After golf you will be collected by our Tour bus and take a 4 hour drive to Brora where we will sepnd 2 nights.

We take the high road to Brora Golf Apartments which overlook the stunning Brora Course.  We will spend 2 nights in the Highlands playing Brora and Royal Dornoch.  

Have breakfast then 18 Holes of Matchplay Versus Team Scotland at Brora Golf Links.

After breakfast, we take the 30-minute drive to Royal Dornoch which could likely be one of the greatest courses you play in your lifetime.  We return back to Brora after the golf. Dornoch has 2 courses The Struie or The Championship Course.  You have the choice of playing either course.  If you want to play the Struie your Tour would reduce to $3850.  I anticipate that most of the group will want to play the Championship course so have included that in the current pricing.

Royal Dornoch is a Championship Course that was Ranked #1 in the World, Golfscape 2020  https://golfscape.com/blog/top-100-golf-courses-in-the-world-2020/ 

Ranked #3 in the World, Golf Digest 2022 https://www.golfdigest.com/story/worlds-100-greatest-golf-courses 

Today we travel from Brora to Meldrum House our Home for 2 Nights.  We stop at Glen Garioch distillery en route for a Whisky tasting. 

Meldrum House is an incredible property. There is an amazing video on the website that shows you the property in an amazing light and will give you some perspective on what to expect.  Scottish Hospitality doesn't get much better than Meldrum!!

 \Today, we drive 30 minutes to Scotland's North East Coast to experience the stunning Cruden Bay Links.

Cruden Bay is a thrilling and visually stunning golf course on Scotland’s east coast, just 23 miles north of Aberdeen. Even in Scotland, the Home of Golf,  it’s rare to find a course with such incredible, elevated sea views.  Expect to experience the seclusion created by numerous towering sandhills,  some three stories high,  enabling that wonderful feeling of intimacy.

Golfers will enjoy the surprise of not knowing what comes next and the highlights that lie in store ahead.  This is part of Cruden Bay's charm.  There are a few quirks, such as blind shots and back-to-back par 3s, but your focus will be occupied by navigating some of Scotland's most fearsome sand dunes. This course keeps giving, so you should expect to discover some unexpected features and enjoy some great surprises during your round.

So, if you love the idea of playing a wild-looking, rugged course with huge sand dunes, rolling fairways, and incredible elevation changes, this would be a superb choice. The golfing test here has remained consistent for almost 100 years.

After breakfast, we drive towards St Andrews, then stop at Kingarrock Golf Course to have fun while you can experience how golf began.  Expect to play nine holes of golf with original hand-forged golf clubs and a feather-simulated ball. The Kingarrock Golf Course will transport you back almost 100 years to an era when golf was a game of skill, strategy, and technique rather than one driven by innovation and technology. We head back to St Andrews after the event for our final night in Scotland.
