For scenic fairways...
With over 550 golf courses around Scotland, there is plenty to enjoy a game of golf between friends. But if you want a unique golf experience, visiting the west coast of Scotland and the Scottish Isles is the way to go. Challenge yourself on tricky 9-hole courses with honesty boxes that act as a little throwback to the past, or tee off like a pro on the 18-hole courses with a championship pedigree. With awe-inspiring scenery and so much wildlife, the west coast of Scotland is ideal for a golfing experience like no other.

We recommend that you start your journey from Glasgow. Start your journey by flying with Loganair to Glasgow from:
- Northern Ireland: City of Derry Airport

To ensure we can accommodate your golf club bag on each flight as part of your desired itinerary, please call our Help Centre (0344 800 2855) before confirming your booking.
Glasgow
Day 1
Start in Glasgow, perhaps the most underrated of all regions for Scottish golf.
However, it holds some courses of genuine quality. Head straight from the airport to Mar Hall, a five-star golf resort with a championship course which offers players a fair test of golf. Next up, head to the spectacular Pollok Country Park, where you’ll find Haggs Castle golf course - one of the city’s finer challenges and has hosted many professional and amateur tournaments. And if you have some extra time, you might also want to check out Royal Troon Golf Club or Turnberry, home to some of Scotland’s finest golf courses.
Islay
Day 3
Start your tour of the most scenic golf courses in the world by flying from Glasgow to Islay.
The Machrie on Islay is one of Scotland’s oldest and most traditional links courses. The links terrain is set on unique dunelands surrounding the dramatic Laggan Bay, which few courses have similar settings to marvel at. The Machrie’s incredible Hebridean views of the ocean, the peaks of Beinn Bheigeir and the Paps of Jura, and the course’s positioning, captivates golfers of all levels and make it the perfect island to start exploring the Scottish inner Hebrides. With inspired run-offs, contoured greens and revetted bunkers, you’ll have a wide selection of shots to take around the greens! Don’t forget to get yourself a wee souvenir from the course’s shop as you’ll surely want to remember such an incredible golfing experience.
You can take a return flight to Glasgow from Islay ahead of the next stop on the tour.
Campbeltown
Day 5
Fly from Glasgow to Campbeltown to find your way to one of the world's most sought-after golf courses.
Returning to the mainland, specifically to the peninsula of Kintyre, we’re greeted by Machrihanish Golf Club, just a 10-minute drive from Campbeltown and overlooking the outstanding Machrihanish Bay. Machrihanish was laid out by the legendary Tom Morris well over 100 years ago and featured an 18-hole links golf course. It is one of the most natural, romantic and enjoyable places to play golf in the British Isles. And the unique thing about this course is its famous first hole, as you’re required to play your first shot out over the Atlantic Ocean!
You can head back to Glasgow Airport from Campbeltown before the final stop on your Scottish Golf tour.
Benbecula
Day 7
Lastly, fly to Benbecula from Glasgow to visit one of the most natural golf courses in the world - Askernish Golf Course.
Lastly, fly to Benbecula to visit one of the most natural golf courses in the world - Askernish Golf Course. Located on South Uist, just 30 minutes from Benbecula, Askernish is another golf course designed by Old Tom Morris. However, since the 1920s, the golf course has been closed and only reopened in 2008. Since its reopening, Askernish Golf Course has received the highest acclaim from golfers worldwide. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and for any golf enthusiast, it is worth taking advantage of!
And that's the complete tour! You can return to Glasgow from Benbecula to start your journey home.
