Edgehill House is a new property that has become available as a private let property. Therefore we are very excited to offer this to golfers planning a 2024 golf trip. The house is located in East Lothian and is set alongside the 1st fairway of the No.1 Course at Gullane. This stunning house boasts 7 luxury bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, cinema room and a swimming pool. A home from home, ideal for those larger groups or families. Edgehill House also offers the opportunity for you to have your own private chef to create a memorable dinner experience for your group.

For your 2024 golf trip we would particularly recommend the Scotscraig Experience. The experience offers golfer’s a full day package, playing the championship course, learning the history of the club and indulging in some Scottish cuisine. The day starts with a meet & greet at the clubhouse by an ambassador from the club. Coffee, breakfast or soup & sandwiches are provided depending on arrival time. Golfer’s then enjoy a tour of the 120-year clubhouse followed by a course preview. There is then some time to warm up with teaching staff before heading out onto the course.

Cruden Bay Golf is located in Scotland’s North East approximately 30 minutes north of Aberdeen. Designed in 1899 by Tom Morris of St Andrews this traditional links course requires ability, creativity and imagination. Cruden Bay has a mixture of long demanding holes, picturesque par 3’s and a few short quirky par 4’s. As well as a few blind shots thrown in for good measures. It’s one of the few courses that you’ll likely play where you will use every club in your bag. Cruden Bay also has a 9-hole layout, the St Olaf Course, which is complimentary for any golfer playing the main course. A great experience for those up there for the day playing 27 holes and enjoying some wonderful food in the clubhouse.
