Best Hidden Gems Golf Courses In Scotland


OK here goes.


Here is my Top 5.


1.Shiskine - Arran
This is a quirky 12 holer on the wonderful Isle of Arran. There are two crazy holes - one where you hit up to a green atop a cliff the other you hit over a big lump of a hill to a blind green on the other side.Its great seaside golf.


2.Makrihanish
Stunning scenery and interesting holes make this a must play. Its a real struggle to get there but well worth the journey.


3.Boat of Garten

Set in the valley tucked away in georgeous speyside this is a quirky wee course with tons of wildlife to keep you ocupied if your golf is rubbish.


4. Isle of Harris

This course is in the middle of nowhere but when you find it you'll love it for its spectacular vistas. When I was there in summer the sun shimmered on the water and a horse trotted along the beach. Nick Faldo found it and wrote in the visitors book how beautiful it was.


5.Balcomie - Crail
Tucked away in the East Neuk not far from St.Andrews this lovely wee course conjours up images of bearded old codgers from hundreds of years ago battling against the elements with their spoons. Its more seaside links with a great par 3 hitting down a cliff to the green perched in the rocks below. RELOAD!!


Bubbling Under.....
Alloa, Kilspindie, Dunkeld, Dunbar, East Renfrewshire, Nairn

Best Golf Courses In Scotland

OK here goes.


Here is my Top 5.


1.Turnberry - Ailsa Course

I know its been show cased at this year's Open but this course has everything in Links Golf. I've played this course in benign sunshine and in a giant hailstorm and every time a new challenge arises.Just spectacular


2.GlenEagles - Kings Course

Another big hitter. About the 5th hole you can easily forget where you are and expect to see a clan chieftain rampaging through trying to club an unsuspecting deer to bits for supper. The views are stunning and the golf is magical.Well worth the doe - not the deer!!


3.Kingsbarnes

Just down from the auld grey toon sits this magnificent beast of a links course. You really have to think round this course and the par 5 which hugs the coastline right round to the green is a classic


4.St.Andrews - New Course

Ah The Home of Golf. My favourite of the town's plentiful courses is The New Course. Its obviously similar to The Old Course but its less palaver to get on and anyway the holes are much more interesting. Play The Old to say you have played it but The New is more fun.


5.Gullane - Number 2

Perhaps surprising choice but not to those who've played it. Immaculate and breathtaking views make this course a must-play


Bubbling Under.....

Carnoustie, Lundin Links, North Berwick West, Loch Lomond, Western Gailes, Royal Dornoch, Cruden Bay
