Day 1 Arrival – Transfer to Trump Turnberry
Best to arrive at Glasgow Airport to be met by the Muirfield Travel team for your executive transfer to The Trump Turnberry Resort.
Transfer time approximately 45 minutes.
Day 2 Play Royal Troon - Stay Trump Turnberry
Troon was founded in 1878 after a meeting in the pub by a few golf enthusiasts. Designed originally by George Strath, James Braid later modified and extended the layout.
Troon first hosted The Open in 1923 with the most recent being in 2016 when Henrik Stenson was named Champion Golfer. Troon was bestowed Royal status in 1978 (the last course to be granted such status) and is a traditional 9 out and 9 back course. So make your score on the outward nine as the inward nine is severe; often playing into the prevailing wind.
Day 3 Play Western Gailes - Stay Trump Turnberry
Four Glaswegians fed up playing on muddy parkland founded the club in 1897.
More or less a nine out and nine back in, Western is a real golfing test. Gently undulating fairways are occasionally interrupted by the three meandering burns that dissect this thin strip of land. The greens are cleverly located in naturally folded ground and are fast, firm and subtly contoured. The course has been used as a final qualifier when the Open has been held at either Troon or Turnberry.
Day 4 Play Turnberry (Ailsa Course) - Stay Trump Turnberry
Named after the third Marquess of Ailsa, who owned the land on which it was built, this par-71, 6, 7489-yard Championship course is one of golf’s storied places. Home to four Open Championships, Ailsa has shaped some of the most remarkable moments in the tournament’s history. Set alongside the glorious Ayrshire coastline, with Arran and Ailsa Craig as a stunning backdrop, it is one of the finest golfing destinations in the world. The relatively recent acquisition by Trump has seen some additional work to the course layout completed to universal acclaim.
Day 5 Transfer to The Old Course Hotel, St Andrews
Executive transfer to St Andrew’s. Check into the 5* Old Course Hotel and then relax, soak up the atmosphere and take in the best view in St Andrews with some drinks in The Road Hole Bar followed by dining splendour at The Road Hole Restaurant. All ready for tomorrow’s golf.
Day 6 Play The New Course, St Andrews - Stay The Old Course Hotel
The oldest ‘new’ course in the world, the second course at the Home of Golf was built by the Keeper of the Green Tom Morris in 1895 and it was imaginatively named to differentiate from its famous neighbour. Boasting undulating fairways and challenging greens, the New Course is a classic test of links golf.
Before playing at the home of golf you will transfer to Hotel Du Vin.
Day 7 Play The Old Course, St Andrews - Stay The Old Course Hotel
The oldest and most iconic golf course in the world. The home of golf.
The Swilken Bridge and Hell Bunker are recognised across the globe, yet the greatest feature of the Old Course is that despite its grand status it remains a public golf course, open to all.
Day 8 Play Carnoustie - Stay The Old Course Hotel
Designed in 1850 by Alan Robertson with minor changes by Mackenzie and Ebert in 2017, Carnoustie is a world-renowned links golf course. A host to The Open on seven occasions, Carnoustie last hosted the Championship in 2018.
A very challenging links course, who can forget Jean Van de Velde’s Open demise on the 18th hole in the Barry Burn!
Not the most scenic of courses (you rarely get glimpses of the sea), it nevertheless tests every shot in the bag on more than one occasion.
Day 9 Play Kingsbarns - Transfer and Check-in to Greywalls Hotel, Gullane
Situated just 6 miles from St Andrews Kingsbarns is an important addition to the ancient links courses in this area. One of the delights of the course is that you can see the North Sea from virtually every part of the course. Created by the vision of Kyle Philips in the late 20th century earthmovers rumbled and shifted hundreds and thousands of tonnes of earth to create the landscape you see today, uncovering The Cambo burn as part of the work.
Kingsbarns jointly hosts The Alfred Dunhill Cup every year and has also hosted The Women’s British Open in the past few years.
Day 10 Play Muirfield - Stay Greywalls Hotel
Muirfield is the home of The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers (HCEG) – the world’s oldest golf club (being formed in 1744). It was the first course designed with concentric rings of nine holes (the outward nine running clockwise around the edge of the course and the inward nine running anti-clockwise inside the outward nine). This layout ensures the wind hits you from all directions! Host to 15 Opens and most recently won in 2013 by Phil Mickleson. It has also played host to the 1973 Ryder Cup won by The USA.
Day 11 Play North Berwick West Links - Stay Greywalls Hotel - Dine at Chez Roux
The West Links in North Berwick is a one off. With nine holes out and nine holes back in and with a short par 4 18th hole that finishes in the town, it has a similar layout to the Old Course. It’s also the 3rd oldest course in the world still playing over its original fairways. The views out over the Firth of Forth are magnificent and when you come to the par 3 15th hole (Redan) you will be playing the most copied hole in golf. No wonder it is one of the most loved (and popular) golf courses in Scotland.
Day 12 Breakfast & Transfer to the Airport
After a relaxing breakfast you driver will make sure you get to the Airport in pleanty of time for your flight home.
Accommodation Highlight - Old Course Hotel 4 nights
Bordering the renowned 17th Road Hole of the Old Course, the Old Course Hotel overlooks the famous links course, the West Sands beach and the beautiful Scottish coastline. This prestigious AA Five Star-awarded hotel has 144 rooms including 35 suites and is recognised as one of Europe’s leading resorts.
