in Scotland:
|
Cruden Bay
 |
www.crudenbaygolfclub.co.uk

The classic Scottish links - plunging dunes, blind shots
and burns. Quirky and charming.
Best hole: 4th |
Boat of Garten
 |
www.boatgolf.com
Location: Speyside, Near Aviemore |
The finest inland course in Scotland threaded through
a Highland forest.
Best hole: 6th |
Dalmunzie
 |
www.welcome.to/dalmunzie
Location: Central Highlands,

Undiscovered Highland nine hole gem – surely this
was how golf was designed to be played.
Best hole: (tricky!) 6th |
Dunbar
|
www.dunbar-golfclub.co.uk
Location: East Lothian |
An Open qualifying links - a magnificent course carved
into the North Sea.
Best hole: 12th |
Gifford

Nine holes of inland golf in East Lothian – with
arguably the finest greens in the county.
Best hole: 6th |
Lossiemouth (Old Moray)

Ignore the RAF overhead – Old Moray is a wonderful
links with a fabulous finish.
Best hole: 18th |
Macrihanish
|
www.golfing-scotland.com/
courses/macrihanish.asp

Carved from nature, a fabulous links, more rugged than
Cruden but equally unspoiled.
Best hole: 4th |
Murcar
|
www.murcar.co.uk

Runs alongside Royal Aberdeen - more majestic seaside
golf.
Best hole: 7th |
North Berwick
|
http://www.topweb.free-
online.co.uk/nb/xnbhist.htm
Location: East Lothian |
Perhaps Scotland's most traditional links - stone dykes
and plunging bunkers.
Best hole: 15th |
Royal Aberdeen
|
www.royalaberdeengolf.com
Location: Aberdeenshire |
The severest test of links golf in Scotland - lightning
fast greens, ferocious rough...
Best hole: 9th |
Traigh Golf Course
|
www.traighgolf.co.uk
Location: Just South of Isle of Skye on mainland |
Good quality golf and a stunning view. This course
has it all... Remote but well worth it.
Best hole: 9th |
