St Andrews - The Home of Golf
This is a 'must do' for all golfers, visit the home of golf and play where it all started in 1400AD.
Day1 This 4 day trip starts with an early morning BA flight from London to Edinburgh. There you will be collected in style by St Andrews Executive Travel, specialists in luxury tranfers, where you will be taken to The Old Course Resort and Spa. This is without doubt one of the best hotels in the country and is first class from start to finish. After check in we meet in The Jigger Inn which has been providing local food and beverages since the 1850s. After a light lunch we have 18 holes on St Andrews New Course, a great course and some say even better than The Old Course. Dinner that evening is at the award winning St Andrews Seafood Restaurant.
Day 2, after a large breakfast in true Scottish style we have 18 holes at Carnoustie, Open venue in 1999 and 2007, a beautiful course and a real test, easy to see why even the top pros struggle. Dinner that evening is at Ziggy Steakhouse, great food and lots of it, the perfect tonic to a tough day of golf.
Day 3 is on The Old Course itself, a genuine life experience and the first tee shot always turns even the steeliest of nerved golfer into a nervous wreck. With a quick stop for a photo of the group on The Swilken Bridge everyone ends the day with a huge smile and some very happy memories. Dinner that evening is at The Locker Room restaurant, with it's history and excellent food and service this is always a real favourite.
Day 4 starts with an early tee time at Kingsbarns, a real gem of a course and for many the highlite of the week. After a late lunch St Andrews Executive Travel take the group back to Edinburgh airport for the return fight to London.
A great trip and highly recommended to all golfers, this is available from April to October, every week other than when The Open and The Alfred Dunhill Links Tournaments are on.
