Scotland Golf Vacations
Little do you know when you plan a golf vacation to Scotland that it is the home of this much loved sport! Scotland is a land full of thrill, history and fairy tales. The dilapidated castles and renowned monuments always remind you of the struggles in the past. The archaic capital city of Edinburgh and the older city of Glasgow are counted among Europe's lively cities. These two lovely cities are a cultural hub having all the modern facilities and good restaurants to satisfy your palate too. They have an exciting nightlife and fantastic shopping for everybody.
The countryside is equally appealing with its grandiose landscapes, free flowing rivers that attract one and all. Scotland has five important golfing regions such as Ayrshire south of Glasgow, East of Edinburgh, St Andrews, Aberdeen, and the Highlands located near Inverness. The golf courses are superb and are a treat to play on. More than 150 of the 500-odd golf courses in Scotland are based on the natural seashore land. In Scotland, you will also find places where the golf course is the result of the remains of the past glaciers.
You can plan a golf vacation to Scotland between May and September, as that happens to be the best season. April and October do see some tourists, but there is a chance that you may be disappointed since certain facilities are not operational in these months.
So if you plan to spend a grand golf vacation in Scotland, you can opt for any course from Carnoustie, Dunbar, Dalmahoy or the Gleneagle resort to mention a few. Bet you will feel like a king with such classic courses.
