Best Golf Courses in Scotland

St Andrews (old course)

St Andrews Golf Resort is located on Scotland’s Golf Coast in Fife and is the oldest and most iconic golf course in the world- known largely for hosting championships such as The Open. Despite the Old Course’s grand status, it remains a public golf course on most days- meaning that members of the public can play on the renowned course. You do however need a handicap certificate to play on the Old Course, so some ability to play is therefore needed. It is always best to book a tee-time in advance, but sometimes it is easy to simply walk on. For any golf course of this calibre, you are looking at green fees of £270 a round in peak season and less in low season. If you choose to play here, expect an authentic experience with spectacular views and photo opportunities.

Gleneagles (Kings Golf Course)

Gleneagles Golf Course is in Auchterarder, Scotland. It opened in 1919 so is extremely historical and a famous course is known worldwide. It is referred to as a ‘masterpiece of golf course design’ due to it being one of the world’s most beautiful and exhilarating places to play golf. During peak season- high rates still apply for a round of golf, looking at up to £270 a round for visitors, however low season is significantly cheaper. Gleneagles is a stunning, mountain setting for a game of golf and is very aesthetic for those who want to capture good golf shots and videos.

Hopeman Golf Club.

Hopeman was originally a nine-hole course, which was changed to 18 in 1985, which some would say makes it one of the most demanding links courses to play golf in Moray- located in the North of Scotland. Per round, you are looking at £45 which is more affordable than some of the more prestigious courses.

Hopeman Golf Club is an 8-minute drive (2.9miles) from our brilliant Burghead Holiday Park, which gives you so much to do right on your doorstep. Burghead is part of our Relax and Explore collection, set in a peaceful location with direct access to a beautiful, seawater bay, the quaint coastal town of Burghead and the option to walk or cycle the Coastal Trail east towards Hopeman, where you will find the golf course and lots more. Back on-site, although there are no facilities in the park, our pitches are well maintained and have all the space you need to enjoy the great outdoors by either touring caravan or motorhome holiday.

At the same time, if you’re looking to enjoy a little more entertainment alongside your golfing holiday such as going in the pool and enjoying a cooked meal, another great place to stay, is our fantastic neighbouring destination at Silver Sands Holiday Park which is just an 11-minute drive from Burghead Holiday Park- whether you choose to stay there instead or simply use the facilities. Silver Sands is a 5-minute drive (3.6miles) away from Hopeman Golf Club and offers a range of grass and hard-standing gravel pitches that provide an excellent foundation for touring and camping holidays.
