Golf in Scotland - Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about golf lessons across Scotland.

Why is Scotland the home of golf?
Scotland is where golf was born - the earliest recorded references to the game date from 15th-century Scotland, and St Andrews has been the spiritual home of the sport ever since. The Old Course at St Andrews, Royal Troon, Muirfield, Carnoustie, and Turnberry are all Scottish links of international renown. No other country can claim a golf heritage to rival it.
Can visitors play the Old Course at St Andrews?
Yes, but it requires planning. Visitor rounds on the Old Course are allocated partly by ballot (entered the day before) and partly through advance booking. Demand is enormous - particularly in summer. A Swyng voucher can contribute towards the cost of a round at St Andrews or any of the other world-class links courses nearby.
How much do golf lessons cost in Scotland?
Golf lessons in Scotland typically cost £20-£40 for group sessions and £40-£70 for private PGA coaching. Scotland offers some of the best value golf in the UK - green fees at many historic links courses are lower than equivalent venues in England or Ireland.
What cities in Scotland do you cover?
We have dedicated location pages for St Andrews, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Dundee, Inverness, and Stirling - covering the full spread of Scottish golf from the Fife peninsula to the Highlands.
