This golfing trip of a lifetime includes 7 rounds of golf on some of Scotland’s (and the World’s) best and most famous golf courses, over 12 nights’, staying in 5-star accommodation.
Golf & Tours knows that for dedicated golfers a golf tour to Scotland will be one of the highlights of their golfing journey, and we will do everything to ensure that you have the most memorable golf experience of your life on this golf holiday.
This is a true bucket list trip for golf lovers, and we have space for just 16 golfers, so you will enjoy the most intimate and personalised golf tour to Scotland possible.
On the 2026 Ultimate Scotland Golf Tour ample time to explore your surroundings off the golf course with free days to explore Edinborough and Inverness as well as castle tours, and a picturesque drive to and lunch in Braemar in the Scottish Highlands (Home of the Highland Games).
On Golf & Tours’ golf vacations, we specialise in not only getting you on the best courses but also enjoying everything else that the destination has to offer.
Most evenings your Hosts will make dinner reservations for the group, at fabulous local restaurants, and those guests who would like to dine with them are most welcome. We choose restaurants based around the restaurant’s seasonal menu, fresh produce and who feature local suppliers, whenever possible. Scottish fresh produce is absolutely first class. Their beef, lamb, salmon, cheeses, and produce are amazing, and many chefs in Europe purchase Scottish produce for their fine dining restaurants on the Continent.

Swathes of towering Scots pines, a dramatic feature of the course, protect players from any breeze whipping in off the sea, and while the Fidra opens out into more traditional linksland from the short but devilish 12th until home, the velvety greens hide all kinds of surprises.

No two are the same within a natural ecosystem, interspersed with rich turf and tight rolling fairways, that is a sheer delight to behold. Royal Aberdeen is a traditional out and back links running along the shore of the North Sea and is regarded by many as having the finest first nine holes in golf. The back nine holes play on higher ground and provide stunning North Sea views.
Optional Dinner with Host
Each evening you are welcome to join your Tour Host for dinner at a fabulous local restaurant (at own cost).

Some say golf was played at Cruden Bay way back in the 18th century. An authenticated ballot box with the inscription “Cruden Golf Club 1791” exists, but Cruden Bay Golf Club wasn’t formed until more than 100 years later. Old Tom Morris and Archie Simpson laid out the course for the Great North of Scotland Railway Company (GNSR) and it opened for play in 1899. In 1926, Tom Simpson and Herbert Fowler redeveloped the layout leaving many of the original greensites and routing intact. Little has since changed.
Dinner at The Kilmarnock Arms after golf

Today the group will travel from Aberdeen to Inverness via the stunning Scottish Highlands. Our coach will drive through the picturesque and startling Cairngorms National Park before we stop at Braemar (The home of the Highland Games) for lunch at the Fife Arms.
Built in the 19th century, The Fife Arms Hotel is a Braemar landmark and is a category B listed building. Its size is evidence of the popularity of Braemar in the wake of Queen Victoria’s visits and her purchase of Balmoral, just 15 minutes from the hotel.
Nestled on the leafy banks of the River Ness, lies Ness Walk, an idyllic 5-star retreat hotel in Inverness. Originally a 19th-century house, our lovingly restored Grade B listed building still retains many of its period features. But unified with modern design and architecture, providing a flawless balance between past and present.
11 May 2026, Mon
- Return group golf transfers
- The Nairn Golf Club – 18 Holes with Pull Buggy
- Optional Dinner with Host
Nairn Golf Club is located on an elevated, rumpled piece of linksland on the Moray Firth coastline, close to the historic fishing port. It’s one of Scotland’s lesser-known gems.
This is a course which has been touched by many great architects. The club was founded in 1887 to an original design by Andrew Simpson. A few years later Old Tom Morris extended the layout and, prior to the Great War, James Braid made further alterations. Directly after the Great War, Ben Sayers added his mark to the course only to find James Braid itching to polish off the design. It is no wonder that Nairn is such a detailed masterpiece.
Optional Dinner with Host
Each evening you are welcome to join your Tour Host for dinner at a fabulous local restaurant (at own cost).
12 May 2026, Tue
- Return group golf transfers
- Cabot Highlands Castle Stuart – 18 Holes with Pull Buggy
- Optional Dinner with Host
Hugging the shoreline of the Moray Firth, the rugged and natural landscape is comprised of vast expanses of gorse, broom, heather, and sea marram. Tightly framed vistas combine the immediacy of natural surrounds with far-stretching views, creating at once a sense of grounding and grandeur. Manicured playing surfaces and natural rugged vegetation come together in a design reminiscent of golf’s transitional period from 1890 to 1935.
Optional Dinner with Host
Each evening you are welcome to join your Tour Host for dinner at a fabulous local restaurant (at own cost).
13 May 2026, Wed
Day at Leisure in Inverness

The contemporary Inverness Museum and Art Gallery traces local and Highland history.
14 May 2026, Thu
- Return group golf transfers
- Royal Dornoch – 18 Holes with Pull Buggy
- Farewell Dinner
Royal Dornoch Golf Club is spellbinding. It seems to mesmerise amateur and professional golfers from all over the world and many make the pilgrimage to this natural links at some point in their lives.
It’s the timeless setting that makes Royal Dornoch such a pleasing place to play golf. It’s wild, isolated and, at the same time, absolutely beautiful; there’s the blaze of colour in early summer when the gorse is in flower. The pure white sandy beach divides the links from the Dornoch Firth and it all feels very humbling.
Farewell Dinner
