As you will expect from the country that gave golf to the world, there are some fabulous regions to explore when planning a golfing tour to Scotland. One of the most iconic has to be Tayside, an area that covers Dundee, Angus and Perth and Kinross, and a location that’s synonymous with everything that this wonderful game has to offer.
And while some areas of the world can claim to have an excellent golf course to enjoy, Tayside has more than you could ever wish for. Perhaps the jewel in its impressive crown is the fabulous Carnoustie Golf Links, which has played host to many Open Championships and remains one of the most iconic golfing venues in the whole world.
And as if that was wasn’t already wonderful enough, how about including a trip to Gleneagles on your next tour? There are three courses to choose from, including the superb PGA Centenary, where the 2014 Ryder Cup was held. Gleneagles also offers the King’s and Queen’s Courses, both of which are historic, enjoyable and immensely beautiful.
There are several more to choose from, leaving you and your friends spoilt for choice. Monifieth is an 1850s venue, but has a golfing pedigree dating back to the 1630s. It offers 36 holes of traditional links golf, as does Montrose, where the 1562 Course and the Broomfield Links lend themselves perfectly to a full day of sporting excellence.
Tayside deserves to be on any golf trip’s schedule, and there’s yet more about this fabulous region to enjoy. This is a hugely popular destination for tourists from all over the world, thanks to the stunning countryside, the glorious beaches and a great selection of iconic towns and cities that are just waiting to be explored. Wherever you choose to be based, you can be sure of finding plenty to see and do.
Perhaps the most popular base for visitors is in the historic city of Dundee on the banks of the River Tay. Here’s where you’ll find a great many excellent attractions, including the superb V&A Dundee, Discovery Point, HMS Unicorn, the McManus Art Gallery and Museum, the Mills Observatory and the Dundee Science Centre. Make sure you leave enough time for exploring.
Away from Dundee, there are a number of excellent locations in which to be based, both inland among the rural splendour and along the waterfront. Arbroath is a great choice, as is Broughty Ferry, just a short distance from Dundee itself. And of course, you can choose from an eclectic mix of accommodation options, including hotels, B&Bs, country houses, self-catering apartments and, for that extra wow factor, there’s even a few castles that offer the chance to stay in a truly iconic location.
