Scotland

Post by hoyhoyguy »

In August I'm headed to Scotland to play.

Here are the tracks we have lined up.

#1- Musselburghold Links (we are renting hickories) http://www.musselburgholdlinks.co.uk/ - We land at 9am and our plan is to get to our hotel, check in, and go straight to Musselburghold. Our goal is to push ourselves to stay up during the day to adjust to the change in time. This place looks like a perfect way to ease into the golf.

#2- Carnoustie

#3 - Kingsbarns

#4 - St. Andrew's Old Course

#5 - North Berwick

#6 - Gullane #1

Has anyone played any of these courses? Any advice on Scotland in general?

Thanks!

I did Lili Putt in Coon Rapids several years ago, and was an ace at the Southtown Putt Putt back in the 70's....

If you don’t mind me asking, how much will this whole trip cost. Airfare, lodging, golf.

We are using a combination of airline miles and hotel points to help knock down the cost, but here's roughly what we are looking at.

Flights = $1,600
Golf ~ $1,000 depending on how often we take caddies
Lodging ~ $500 per person with a couple guys per room
Car rental - $100 per person

my buddy did the trip. said it was amazing. One thing he did bitch about was pace of play, and not because it was slow, he is slow.
They dont fuck around on the courses and will keep you moving if your a slow group.
There is one thing for sure in playing golf with my buddy, ..you will meet the course ranger at some point.

Enjoy.
