SCOTLAND
April 24 - 30, 2023
THE BIRTHPLACE OF THE GAME
There’s a reason why playing golf in Scotland is so popular and a pilgrimage that golfers from around the world make in their droves each year: the history. This is where golf was invented hundreds of years ago. It is the cradle of the game, the birthplace of the sport. It has the oldest courses, the deepest heritage and the most incredible stories. Some of the greatest chapters in the game’s history have been written here. There is a great golf tale to be told in almost every town. Quite simply, there is nowhere like it. We can't wait to golf our way through Scotland with you.

Golf is the closest thing to the game we call life. You get bad breaks from good shots; you get good breaks from bad shots...But you have to play the ball where it lies.
- Bobby Jones
Created in the grand style in the early years of the 20th century, Trump Turnberry Scotland is one of Scotland's national treasures with recognition as a "Best Hotels in Europe" 2021 Gold Badge Winner.
As you approach the resort, the miles of glorious west coast of Scotland give way to the familiar soft green of the world famous golf courses, swiftly followed by your first glimpse of the unmistakable red roofs of this Edwardian era hotel.
The Old Course Hotel has 175 rooms including a penthouse suite and is recognised as one of Europe’s leading resorts. Alongside the 17th hole of The Old Course, the most difficult par 4 in the world, the rooms feature a combination of classically elegant and contemporary interiors of French designer Jacques Garcia.
