Golfing in St. Andrews, Scotland
Come to the land where golf first began - really. At St. Andrews, you'll golf with the pros on some of the sport's most hallowed ground. That's because it's the birthplace of golf, a pastime which has lasted for longer than 500 years in this prime destination for golf, travel and more.
Golf first started up here in St. Andrews in 1457 as a highly popular renegade pursuit that competed with King James II's much loved archery. In fact, because golfers would encroach on his archery territory, he banned golf altogether. King James II's edict, however, has had little effect on the effect of golf throughout history. This timeless sport is loved throughout the world, and thrives like none other in the beautiful destination of St. Andrews.
Surprisingly, golf here has gone through its ups and downs, and it's only with a recent revival in the sport's popularity for the region has St. Andrews come into play as a major destination for this sport.
Get to know St. Andrews and the principle courses for which this Scotland retreat is famous. Included on the list of the best are Kingsbarns, Dukes, Strathtyrum and other exquisite courses.
Apart from merely golfing, however, visitors to beautiful Scotland will get to imbibe the rich history and charm that found in this amazing country. Here, no less, you'll feel the might of royalty reflected in the tall stone buildings that are ornately crafted with aristocratic finesse, hearkening back to the ages of yore.
To counterbalance the rich history and archaic presence of Scotland, however, you'll be treated with all the modern amenities of the most upscale courses in the land…indeed, you'll be treated like royalty whenever you golf at St. Andrews in Scotland.
