at

but
one

in
golf.
Prestwick
Golf
Club,
Ayrshire,
Scotland
-
(6,750
yards,
par

Founded
in
1851,
the
setting
for
the
very
first
Open,
this
is
one
of
the
best
known
and
most
distinguished

in
Scotland.
The
Club
is
situated
just
half
an
hour
south
west
of
Glasgow
on
the
famous
golfing
Ayrshire
coast.
A
stretch of
land
unequalled
anywhere
in
the
world
for
prime
golfing
terrain.
Prestwick
is
every
sense
a
true
seaside
course
with
traditional
links
turf.
Western
Gailes,
Ayrshire,
Scotland
-
(6639
yards,
par
71)
Western
Gailes
Golf
Club,
founded
in
1897,

situated
on
the
Ayrshire
coast
of
Scotland
where
many
of
the
finest
Scottish
golf
links
are
located.
It
is
recognised
as
one
of
the
finest
and
true
links
courses
in
Scotland
measuring
6714
yards
from
the
championship
tees.
The
course
has
played
host
to
the
Curtis

Royal
Troon.
The
North
Berwick
Golf
Club,
Scotland
-
(6420
yards,
par
72)
North
Berwick
is
still
an
exhilarating
place
to
find
oneself.
The
West
course
runs
in
a
predominately
west-east
direction
along
the
coastline.
Most
holes
afford
lovely
views
over
the
Firth
of
Forth
and
Bass
Rock.
The
golfer
is
likely
to
see
many
forms of
vessels
out
in
the
sea,
ranging
from
small
fishing
boats
to
clipper
ships.
As
for
the
holes,
the
much-copied
Redan
originated
here
but
there
are
plenty
of
other
holes
of
great
merit
at
North
Berwick
as
well.
Gullane

West
Links
Road,
Gullane,
Scotland
Gullane

is
a
6466
yards
par
71
course,
Gullane
#
2
is
a
6244
yards
par
71
course,
Gullane
#

is
a

68
course.
The
picturesque
town
of Gullane is
home
to
five
outstanding
links
courses
including
the
well
known Muirfield
Golf
Club.
Three
superb
links
are
known,
rather
unimaginatively,
as Gullane
1,
2
and
3,
but
nothing
is
pedestrian
about
the
game
you
play
on
any
of
them.
Part
of
the
East
Lothian
Club
formed
by
a
group
of
farmers
in1859,
the
Gullane
Golf
Club
was
founded
in
1882
on
the
shores
of
the
Firth
of
Forth.
Gullane
No.1 has
a
long
history
of
hosting
international
Championship
events,
including
the
Scottish
Amateur
Championship,
Open
Championship
Qualifying,
Seniors
Open
Amateur
and
European
Boys
Team
Championships
in
recent
years. Gullane
No.2 has
also
been
used
for
Open
Championship
Qualifying
and
the
Seniors
Open
Amateur. Gullane
No.3,
whilst
being
the
shortest,
still
provides
a
stern
challenge
for
golfers
of
all
abilities.
Muirfield
is
regarded
as
the
oldest
Golf
Club
in
the
world
having
been
founded
in
1744.
Designed
by
Old
Tom
Morris
and
opened
in
1891,
Muirfield
has
been
host
to
The
Open
15
times
with
the
most
recent
being
in
2002
when
Ernie Els
won
his
first
Open
Championship.
Muirfield
is
a
fantastic
course
that
is
consistently
rated
in
the
top
ten
courses
in
the
world
Dunbar
Golf
Club,
East
Lothian,
Scotland
-
(6,404
yards
par

Designed
by
Old
Tom
Morris
around
1850,
Dunbar
East
Links
situated
on
the
estuary
of
the
Firth
of
Forth,
is
a
breathtaking
layout
of
a
Championship
links
course.
Well
defined
holes
following
the
natural
contours
of
the
coastline.
Being
by
the
sea
shore naturally
means
that
the
wind
plays
a
main
factor
with
the
course
itself,
a
light
breeze
can
transform
this
course
into
a
serious
challenge,
producing
a
new
playing
experience
with
every
round.
Gleneagles
Kings
Golf
Course,
Scotland
-
(6471
yards,
par
70)
The
Kings
is
a
triumph
of
golf
course
design.
Braid
hardly
disturbed
the
Highland
terrain
but
rather
insinuated
golf
holes
upon
it.
Every
hole
is
a
surprise,
not
one
overlooked
by
another
so
that
one
has
the
glorious
sensation
of
being
the
only
ones
on
it.
The Kings
is
a
tough
track
and
has
hosted
many
great
championships.
The
Kings
is
arguably
the
best
inland
course
in
Scotland;
its
eighteenth
being
one
of
the
most
glorious
finishes
in
golf.
St
Andrews
is
the
birthplace
of
the
Great
Game
and
today,
throughout
the
golfing
world,
St
Andrews
is
recognised
as
the
'Home
of
Golf'.
Golf
is
engrained
in
the
town
and
its
people
and
it
touches
on
every
aspect
of
life.

links

one
parkland

including
The Old

St

Carnoustie
Golf
Course,
Scotland
-
(5827
yards,
par
70
)
The
course
as
it
was
in
1937
is
much
as
it
is
today
and
the
challenge
the
modern
golfer
takes
on
is
the
one
which
confronted
the
player
nearly
70
years
ago.
Carnoustie
is
a
public
links,
and
the
opportunity
is
there
for
everyone
to
play
the
Championship
course.
There
are
many
local
golf
clubs,
all
of
which
have
playing
rights
over
the
course
and
the
clubs
themselves
have
a
proud
and
interesting
history.
Kingsbarns
Golf
Course,
Scotland
-
(7126
yards,
par

)
A
scant
six
miles
down
the
coast
from
the
most
revered
links
in
the
world
-
The
Old
Course
at
St.
Andrews
-
lies
a
golf
course
that
many
believe
will
one
day
dominate
the
links
landscape:
Kingsbarns
Golf
Links.
Despite
the
fact
that
the
layout
is still
in
its
infancy,
having
just
opened
in
July
of
2000,
Kingsbarns
has
been
heralded
as
the
last
great
links
property
available
for
development
in
Scotland,
an
end-all
of
Scottish
links
golf.
Royal
Dornoch
Golf
Club,
Scotland
-(
5438
yards,
Par

)
Dornoch
is
considered
the
finest
northerly
course
in
the
world.
Holes
are
visible
everywhere,
the
North
Sea
frames
the
right,
mountains
are
ahead
and
hills
lie
to
your
left.
At
Royal
Dornoch
on
the
Championship
Course
and
our
second
links
the
Struie,
the
golfer
is
presented
with a
magical
mixture
in
a
vision
of
natural
beauty,
with
respectively
18
holes
each
of
character
and
challenge
that
can
be
recalled
to
mind
long
after
the
round
is
completed.
This
Traditional
Scottish
Golf
Links
Course
was
created
on
the
shores
of
the
Moray
Firth
from
a
Highland
wilderness
of
whins
and
heather,
and
tests
the
talents
of
professional
and
amateur
alike.
Founded
in
1887,
it
is
now
one
of
the
best
courses
in
Scotland,
and
hosted the
1999
Walker
Cup.
What
delights
the
visitor
and
member
alike
is
the
Scottish-ness
of
the
links.
A

Nairn

is
a
