Best Golf Courses in Scotland

Scotland is the birthplace of golf. With more than 550 courses packed into a country roughly the size of South Carolina, it offers the highest concentration of world-class golf anywhere on Earth. The Old Course at St Andrews established the 18-hole format in 1764 — a standard the rest of the world has followed ever since. From the windswept links of Royal Dornoch in the far north to the championship tests of Carnoustie and Muirfield, Scottish golf is unlike anything else.
