Why not join a group for your Scottish Golf Vacation

Since 1997 Scotland Golf Tours have been specialising in customised golf tours but an increasing number of our clients were asking for tours that they could join. Added to this the fact that many of Scotland's golfing visitors may prefer to avoid driving on the "wrong" side of the road then the idea of creating a series of Group Yours made sense.

So for 2016 Ronnie Pook and his team have pulled together a group tours service tour for up to 16 golfers. This number means the cost of the driver is spread between more people bringing the tour price down to a level that the golfer will find acceptable whilst still maintaining a quality Scottish golf experience.

The tours are designed to include some premier courses, a few high quality local courses, a visit to a distillery or castle to give the visitor a little taste of real Scotland, and of course the tour drivers are excellent at running these groups, ensuring everyone is looked after.

Guests will be travelling in the company of other like-minded golfers, and as always happens with golf, many new friendships are struck over three foot putts!

If interested in booking a trip for later this year there are still space available on a couple of options in September and October 2016 so why not click on the links to find out more about these great golf tours.
