Western Scotland Golf Vacations

The Ayshire Coast is home to the greatest concentration of courses to be found anywhere in Scotland. For miles and miles along the Clyde and Atlantic shoreline, courses link up with one another to create a panorama that is every golfer’s dream come true. Even Glasgow, the major city in the area, offers the traveler no less than 30 golf courses.

Your options in this area are simply astounding to say the least. In Western Scotland you’ll find no shortage of British Open courses to test your game. From Old Prestwick Golf Club, site of the first British Open in 1860, to Royal Troon and its deep pot bunkers, to Turnberry, the scene of Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus’ famous 1977 British Open battle won by Watson, and by many accounts, perhaps the greatest golfing duel in the history of the game. It is also at Turnberry where you’ll be soothed by the unmistakable sound of a bagpiper as the sun drops beyond the horizon – a magnificent end to any day in Scotland.
