North Berwick West Links

£325

East Lothian

Public Book ahead

Fly into Edinburgh, pick up the hire car and head straight to North Berwick. One of the most fun and quirky links in the world — Redan 15 is as good as it gets.

🛌 Tonight: Macdonald Roxburghe Hotel

St Andrews Old Course

£355

East Coast

Public Limited / lottery

The ballot is the only way to secure this — enter early and treat it as best-effort. If the ballot doesn't come through, the Jubilee is a strong fallback.

🛌 Tonight: The Old Course Hotel St Andrews

St Andrews New Course

£150

St Andrews, Fife

A proper test in its own right and ranked in the UK Top 100 — views over the Eden Estuary are stunning. Easy walk from the town centre.

🛌 Tonight: The Old Course Hotel St Andrews

St Andrews Castle Course

£180

St Andrews, Fife

The dramatic clifftop layout above St Andrews — not the Old Course, but the views are arguably better. Book well ahead; closes November through February.

🛌 Tonight: The Old Course Hotel St Andrews

Kingsbarns

£486

Fife

Resort Plan months out

The stretch run of the Fife section. Kingsbarns hugs the Firth of Forth coastline — expect windswept links conditions. One of the most scenically dramatic courses in Scotland. Book 6+ months out.

🛌 Tonight: The Old Course Hotel St Andrews

Stonehaven Golf Club

£50

Aberdeenshire

The drive north from Fife stops at Stonehaven — a clifftop gem above the North Sea. Par 66 but the gullies and coastal wind keep it honest. Great appetiser before Cruden Bay tomorrow.

🛌 Tonight: Arduthie House

Cruden Bay

£205

Aberdeenshire

Public Plan months out

The hidden gem of the northeast. Wild dune terrain, blowout bunkers, and the ruined Slains Castle on the horizon. Book ahead — this one fills fast despite being off the main tourist trail.

🛌 Tonight: Kilmarnock Arms Hotel

Cabot Highlands Castle Stuart

£385

Scottish Highlands

Resort Book ahead

Into the Highlands. Castle Stuart's elevated tees and panoramic views of the Moray Firth are unforgettable. Now part of Cabot Highlands — book via the resort.

🛌 Tonight: Kingsmills Hotel

Nairn Golf Club

£350

Scottish Highlands

Public Book ahead

A Walker Cup and Curtis Cup host — classic out-and-back Highland links with seven holes along the Moray Firth shore. Visitors play afternoons only. Contact the club directly to book.

🛌 Tonight: Kingsmills Hotel

D10

Royal Dornoch Championship

£360

Scottish Highlands

Public Plan months out

The perfect closer. Top 5 in the world, accessible, and as pure a links experience as Scotland offers. Template greens, natural duneland, and a warmth from the club that makes it feel like home.

Pro tips

The Old Course ballot is free to enter and draws take place daily — enter as far out as possible and keep your mornings free that day in case you're called. Have the Jubilee Course as your confirmed backup since it's bookable in advance and is a serious test in its own right.

Nairn visitors play afternoons only — contact Bookings@nairngolfclub.co.uk directly and get it locked in well ahead. Pair it with a morning at Nairn Dunbar if you want a two-round Highland day.

Royal Dornoch is the emotional high point of the trip — book the earliest available tee time and get a caddie. The crowned greens are unlike anything else in Scotland and you'll need a local on the bag to read them properly.
