NEW - Golf Vacations forum

Apr 14, 2010, 10:38 AM

Hello Scotland travelers and enthusiasts,

Knowing that the Scotland forums get a lot of posts about golf, I wanted to let you know that we created a new Golf Vacations forum after several people requested it. Here's the forum:

tripadvisor.com/ShowForum-g1-i15987-Golf_Vac…

Any golf lovers out there? We'd love some knowledgeable members to help get the new forum going.

Have a question related to traveling and golf? We'd love to hear from you!

There is already an Inside Page about East Lothian's Golf Coast that people might find useful.

We leave in three weeks for a week-long golf vacation with another couple, so I will post the results when we get back - both from the golfers POV and the non-golfers.

East Lothian is an excellent destination if you are looking for a true links golf experience. Let me know if you have any questions. I've played most of the courses.

Might sound a silly question but I may be visiting the British Isles in JUne 2011for about 3 weeks. And I would love to play in either Scotland or Ireland (or Wales)

Being a novice at golfing overseas I have no idea of whether it is better to book thru a golf tour or just take pot luck and try to get onto some of the courses.

Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

In Scotland, you can arrange advance tee times with most courses on line. There is no need to book through a golf tour company unless you are short of time with a tight schedule and have some specific desires, such as the Old Course. Check out the courses you would like to play (online) and you can then decide if their booking policies fit your requirements.

Any courses in Ayrshire open at the moment and on the greens? Here it Glasgow the pesky snow and ice bring more frustration for those of us eager to hit our first drive of 2011.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a course that has somehow managed to escape the big freeze?
