Golf holidays in Scotland
If you love nothing more than a round of golf on a beautiful course, then you’ve come to the right place. The country is famed for its challenging links and picturesque parkland course which push golfers of all abilities to their limits.
When the wind is blowing there are fewer tougher challenges in the game than taming a links course. Some of the most famous in the world, let alone the UK, lie within the country’s borders, so there’s little wonder why golf holidays in Scotland are so popular.
Whether you want to try your luck on some of these famous courses or just want a course nearby that you can enjoy walking around (even when you’re not on your game) then we’ve got a real treat for you. Rosneath Castle’s location on Scotland’s west coast means we’re not too far from some of those famous old courses, which are open for the public to play. Take a look at our guide to golf holidays in Scotland, below…
