Travel To The Highlands of Scotland
Scotland Taste of the Highlands Itinerary...
Scotland is synonymous with many things: Bagpipes, kilts, stunning scenery, but perhaps none more so than golf and whisky. In this tour you can sample some of our best from each. What could be better than excellent golf in the region of Scotland which most typifies our country, majestic mountains, dramatic glens, interspersed with lochs and then follow this with a wee dram drawn directly from the cask at a local distillery.
Day 1:
Your vacation of a lifetime starts with an overseas flight to Scotland.
Day 2:
Upon arrival in Scotland, you will be met by an SGH Golf representative who will assist you with your luggage and present you with a travel guide complete with maps, travel tips and places of interest. After being shown to your rental vehicle, you will transfer north to your designated hotel. En route to the highlands you can visit Stirling Castle or stop in the town of Pitlochry and see once of the most famous views in Scotland, Queens view.
Day 3:
Following a hearty Scottish breakfast, golf will be arranged at Nairn Golf Course. 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. Non golfers may like to visit Cawdor Castle. Later today while in the area a visit to Benromach Distillery is recommended.
Day 4:
This morning after breakfast , your golf will be played at Royal Dornoch. Originally laid out in 1891 by Old Tom Morris the course received a slight makeover from John Sutherland, the club's secretary. It is one of the finest links courses in the world and regularly features in the top ten of best course listings. At just over 6,500 yards it is not too long compared to modern layouts but still presents a mighty challenge regardless. Non golfers may like to visit Dunrobin Castle. Later today you could visit Glenmorangie Distillery, the best selling malt whisky in Scotland.
Day 5:
Today after breakfast, transfer to the Aberdeen/Cruden Bay area. En route golf will be arranged at Moray Golf Club (Old Course). The ancient realm of Moray offers a wide choice of golf and its premier course is undoubtably Moray Old. The wide expanse of gorse encrusted links, between the town of Lossie and the Cove sea lighthouse, has proved ideal for the game and planted within it are two of the best courses on the Moray coast. Non golfers may like to visit Loch Ness and enjoy a cruise on the Loch. Later today you can visit Glen Moray Distillery.
Day 6:
This morning after breakfast, golf will be arranged at Cruden Bay. Designed by Old Tom Morris of St. Andrews, and opened in 1899, Cruden Bay offers an internationally famous golfing experience - old fashioned links golf at its best - on one of the best links courses in Scotland. Last year Cruden Bay was placed at No. 52 in the world by "Golf Magazine". Cruden Bay Golf Course creates unique challenges demanding the skills of power, placement and fine judgment upon the discerning golfer. Non golfers may like to tour Aberdeen.
Day 7:
Today after breakfast golf will be arranged at Royal Aberdeen. Set alongside a picturesque shoreline featuring sweeping sand dunes, Royal Aberdeen is a highly rated traditional links course. Possessing many eye-catching features, most notably the quality of the opening and closing holes, it boasts a balance of long and short par 4's, testing par 3's and tricky par 5's, which due to wind speed and direction, play differently each day. Royal Aberdeen is ranked as the sixth oldest club in the world. Non golfers may like to visit the Balmoral Estate. Later today located closed to Balmoral you can visit the Royal Lochnagar Distillery.
Day 8:
Today we encourage you to explore even more great golf, Spain? Portugal? Ireland? If not, we regret that we will have to say good-bye, as you board your plane heading home.
