Golf
Scotscraig Golf Club
Located 12 miles from St Andrews, Scotscraig is the 13th oldest golf club in the world. The club was founded by members of the St Andrews Society of Golfers; later to become the Royal and Ancient Golf Club. Justin Rose was awarded honorary membership in July last year, 23 years on from when he tried to win his way through final qualifying for the 1995 St Andrews Open as a 14-year-old.
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.
After the round, a traditional three-course Scottish meal is served featuring specifically selected local produce. A fantastic day is then finished with a whisky or gin tasting! – a perfect day for any golfer visiting Fife and amazing value for money!

Cruden Bay Golf is located in Scotland’s North East approximately 30 minutes north of Aberdeen.
