Golfing In Scotland

My husband and I enjoy the sport of golf and decided to look into golf vacations in Scotland. After all, Scotland is the birth place of golf. We were excited in researching the many golf courses to play on in Scotland. We had been told by friends that there is nothing like Scotland golf.

 The areas of Ayrshire and West Scotland gave us a chance to experience the culture on the islands. The area is filled with many historic castles, parks and World Heritage Sites. Not to mention over forty golf courses to choose from. Many choose this area for golf vacationsbecause of the spectacular scenery and the vast variety of golf courses. We were surprised to learn that many of the golf courses offered a wide variety of challenging links to improve our skills on.

 The first golf course that we played on was the Kilmarnock Barassie. This golf course was first founded in 1887 and still uses nine of the original holes. The golf course is home to some of the most challenging links on the coast of Ayrishire. My husband and I really enjoyed playing on this championship course and spent the whole morning there.

 The Machrie is one of the most beautiful golf courses I have ever played on. When planing our golf vacations, I made sure that our golf packages included this amazing course. The course is located on the island of Islay. Machrie is one of the oldest courses in Scotland. It is also one of the most traditional courses to play. This became one of the highlights of our golf trips in Ayrshire and West Scotland.

 When we first started to plan golf trips in Scotland, we did many hours of research because of the vast variety of golf courses in the area. It was hard to just choose a few on our first trip. Over the years we have had planned many golf vacations just to have the Scotland golf experience again. The golf trips have always been fun and relaxing. We have also found many golf packages that include some top notch golf courses to play on in Scotland. This in turn, has gotten many of our friends to join us on golf vacations around Scotland. The golf vacations in Scotland have become one of the top travel destinations for me and my husband. Scotland is the perfect place for golf travel.
