Sample Itinerary for Golf St Andrews Vacation
Day 1:
Arrive Glasgow or Edinburgh. Drive to St Andrews and check into your vacation hotel that has been arranged for you according to the class of hotel service requested (the request for ballot entry to play St Andrews has been arranged by the hotel). The rest of the day is yours to enjoy as you deem fit, a suggestion may be to tour the quaint town of St Andrews, visit the beach or perhaps visit the St Andrews Golf Museum. Overnight at the hotel.
Day 2:
Assuming success in the ballot, you will play the famous Old Course at St Andrews. Regarded as the birthplace of golf, this historic test has hosted numerous British Opens, with such winners as Nicklaus and Ballesteros. Although the course contains wide fairways and has little rough, the winds can create a demanding game. Home of the 2000 British Golf Open, this course will be a most memorable experience. Non-golfers may wish to continue to explore St Andrews or visit the beach. Overnight at the golf vacation hotel.Day 3:
Play today will be arranged at the St Andrews Jubilee golf course. This extremely challenging course is longer and considerable narrower than the Old, and considered more difficult. The greens are small, and a 2 putt is an achievement. The course also contains more devastating rough and is more affected by the ocean wind. A true test of golf. Non-golfers may wish to visit Glamis Castle. Overnight at the your vacation hotel.Day 4:
Carnoustie awaits all challengers today. Considered the most difficult of all British Open golf courses, this historic course has recognized many past British Open winners, including Ben Hogan, Tom Watson and Gary Player. This difficult course has hosted 6 British Opens, with the last in 1999. The length and severely undulating greens has proven to be a stern golf challenge. Upon completion of your round of golf, leave for the airport or extend your trip with additional golf vacations arranged by our staff.Self Drive Tour
