Good news came as Scotland welcomes people from the US and EU with no need to quarantine for those who have been double vaccinated! Many have rescheduled their Golf trip to Scotland once, even twice but now it looks like the light is at the end of the tunnel and golfers can book their travel with confidence.

There's still a few months left of the Scottish golf season and if that's too short notice then now is a great time to start planning for a trip in 2022. The Open returns to the Old Course for its 150th Anniversary so next year is not to be missed.

We have compiled a list of important things to plan before you come to Scotland....

1. Book Your Courses Strategically

Scotland has over 550 courses spread all over the country. Travel around the mainland and islands taking in the sights as you go or if you want minimal travelling from your accommodation stay in one of the main golfing regions. You’ll have plenty of amazing courses on your doorstep; from championship Open venues to short, fun alternatives.

These places have an abundance of courses:

  • St Andrews & Fife
  • Ayrshire
  • East Lothian
  • Highlands
  • North East

2. Get a Golf Pass

Staying in one area for your trip will not only make the most of your time but means you could save on green fees with a golf pass. A pass for multiple courses gives a great discount and often guarantees tee times and saves all that head-scratching on what courses to play.

Here is a pick of our favourites:

Road Hole St Andrews

3. Play a "Hidden Gem"

Of course you want to come to play on an Open venue championship course. I would highly recommend playing one or two, but make sure to play one of Scotland's lesser know, less flashy courses and you will be pleasantly surprised.

From remote island golf to sheep grazing on the course, Scotland has many quirky and fun courses that can be enjoyed by all level of golfers. These will leave you falling in love with the land and its simplicity. Costing a fraction of the price and with tee times very accessible, you shouldn't visit Scotland without playing one.

Here's our top picks:

  • Brora
  • Machrihanish
  • Leven Links
  • Fortrose & Rosemarkie
  • Shiskine

4. Attend a Golf Tournament

So you're coming to the Home of Golf to play, why not get close to the Pro's in action too! Scotland's links can make for challenging conditions and dramatic entertainment from the world's best players. The Open returns to St. Andrews in 2022 (enter the ballot by October 2021) as well as European tour events the Dunhill Links and Scottish Open, which has just become a PGA Tour event for 2022. The Ladies Scottish Open is just about to start at Dumbarnie, Scotland's newest course.

One less thing to worry about as we will make sure you have all the equipment you need to walk straight onto the first tee. Now you're ready to shoot those low scores on the courses you always dreamed of.

5 Reasons why you should rent golf clubs on your visit to Scotland

Travelling to Scotland, to play some of the most famous and oldest golf courses in the world? You play with the same set of clubs all year round at home so your first thought may be to take your own clubs with you. What if there was another option, saving you the stress of taking your own clubs through airports, worrying if they will make it there in one piece and not to mention the costs of taking them across. Simplify your golf travel by Renting clubs in Scotland. You may find that playing with a quality set of top branded clubs improve your game, you just never know. Still undecided?

Here are 5 reasons why Renting golf clubs is the best option when travelling for golf:

1. Hassle Free

Bringing your own clubs means travelling to and from airports with your suitcase AND golf clubs. That’s a lot of luggage especially when you are travelling to Scotland and need to pack clothes for our ever changing weather. Renting your clubs in Scotland means less baggage. Have the rental clubs delivered direct to you at your hotel, airport or even the golf course before your first round then collected straight after your final round. No needless travel with all that extra luggage and a delivery service ensures no time of your trip is wasted.

2. Premium Equipment

Renting golf clubs gives you the chance to play top of the range sets from the best golf manufacturers in the business. Clubs are cleaned between rentals so condition of clubs won't be to question.  Someone said to me last summer after they had played with a rental set that they felt like they were playing with their own clubs, that is how comfortable they were with playing with them.

3. Cost Saving

Most airlines will give you a baggage allowance whilst some charge extra just to take luggage. When travelling for golf, especially for more than a few days its likely you will have a fair sized suitcase. Then you have golf clubs on top of that. So adding an extra oversized bag may cost you up to $300 with some airlines to fly your clubs back and forward. Renting for 5 days will only cost you a third of this cost.

4. Worry Free

You’re golf clubs are your pride and joy. Your set may have taken years to take shape with clubs added over the years Including that trusty putter that has been with you forever. The last thing you want is having your clubs damaged on the airline or the insecurity of leaving them around your rented apartment or hotel room when you are off doing other things. Leave them at home and with rental insurance you can have peace of mind when using our sets.

5. Extend your trip

Scotland, voted the most beautiful country in the world by renowned travel guide rough guides is rich in history and breathtaking scenery. Renting clubs means you can play your golf then offload them without all that extra luggage and explore its Castle’s, Mountains and Lochs by car, train, bus!
