HERE’S WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY ABOUT US! “In my 46 years as a PGA Golf Professional, I have NEVER worked with anyone who is as committed to, and passionate about, great customer service as Garmany Golf. These guys and gals seem to live to create Experiences for folks. They just do it right!” Steve Menchinella, PGA Director of Golf Emeritus Sunnyside Country Club “This was a first class experience led by a worldclass Garmany team. They were all over everything; available, in-person 24/7, flexible, accommodating, friendly and professional.” Bob Eckert Los Angeles Country Club Scotland 2016 & Northern Ireland 2017 MACDONALD MARINE The Macdonald Marine Hotel & Spa is renowned for its beautiful coastal setting and glorious 19th century Victorian architecture. This coastal retreat pays homage to its Victorian roots with traditional features such as high ceilings and large windows. DUNBAR GOLF CLUB Though originally designed in 1856, Dunbar East Links has been touched & influenced by many of the game’s great architects from Old Tom Morris to Ben Sayers and James Braid. Having played host to countless national & international championships, Dunbar pays homage to classic links golf where the virtues of club selection & shot-making are key in navigating the short but intimidating coastal links. GULLANE GOLF CLUB Carved into the ancient links turf with smooth-running greens, pot bunkers and wispy grasses Gullane No. 1 is a unique challenge for all golfers while also providing dramatic views across the Firth of Forth to Edinburgh and Fife. Gullane’s long national & international championship history is highlighted by its hosting of the 2015 and 2018 Scottish Open as part of the PGA European Tour schedule. NORTH BERWICK North Berwick GC West Links is a traditional links course, which like St Andrews, starts and finishes at the clubhouse within the town and winds along the Firth of Forth. With breathtaking views of the water and islands, the course features the original Redan Hole, a Biarritz green and memorable shots over ancient stone walls. For many, this is the most fun links golf course anywhere and ranks #51 in the world by Golf Magazine. THE OLD COURSE HOTEL Bordering the renowned 17th “Road Hole” of the Old Course, the Old Course Hotel overlooks the famous links courses, the West Sands Beach and the beautiful Scottish coastline. This prestigious AA Five Star-awarded hotel is recognized as one of Europe’s leading resorts. KINGSBARNS Kingsbarns is proud to be part of the heritage of links golf around St Andrews. Located 7 miles south east of the “home of golf,” the game has been played on site since 1793 and the present world #64 layout was completed in 2000 by Kyle Phillips. Many Guests rank Kingsbarns as their favorite in Scotland! THE NEW COURSE When it comes to golf, few things in St Andrews are new, so don’t let the name fool you. The “New” links were laid out in 1895 and therefore it is plenty old and has had loads of time to mature into a first rate Scottish links golf course. Many locals love it as much as the Old, and its certainly just as challenging when the wind is up! CARNOUSTIE Golf has been played over the links at Carnoustie since the 1500’s, but the present course came into being in 1850 when it was designed by Alan Robertson of St Andrews and later redesigned by Old Tom Morris. Ranked #28 in the world, it has hosted many memorable Open Championships, the most recent one won in 2018 by Francesco Molinari. It’s site of the tragic “les miserables” collapse by Jean Van de Velde. THE OLD COURSE The Old Course at St Andrews is considered by many to be the “home of golf” and has hosted a stagering 29 Open Championships. From the looming R&A behind the 1st tee to Hell Bunker, the Road Hole and the Swilcan Bridge, the Old Course is the oldest and most iconic golf course in the world. Ranked #3 in the world, it’s on every golfers bucket list! OUR PROMISE TO YOU! We realize that you have a choice when you travel and we are thrilled and honored to have the opportunity to create your unforgettable Bucket List Experience. We will do EVERYTHING possible to ensure that your Experience exceeds your expectations. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT SCOTLAND Q: What airports should I plan to fly in and out of?
