Day 1
Ness Walk Hotel (3 nights)
Nestled on the leafy banks of the River Ness, lies Ness Walk. An idyllic 5-star retreat hotel in Inverness, just 10 minutes from Loch Ness. Surrounded by a dramatic canopy of impressive trees, our grand building allows you to experience a secluded atmosphere in the heart of the vibrant city centre.
Originally a 19th century house, our lovingly restored Grade B listed building still retains many of its periodic features. But unified with modern design and architecture, providing a flawless balance between past and present.
1 Round at Castle Stuart Golf Links
Castle Stuart hosted the Scottish Open for three successive years from 2011 to 2013, returning again in 2016. This prestigious European Tour event has brought some of the world’s best golfers to the Highlands – including past winners like Luke Donald and Jeev Milkha Singh – taking the breathtaking beauty of the Highlands to a huge television audience.
Day 2
1 Round at Royal Darnouch
The jewel in the Highland golfing crown is definitely Royal Dornoch Golf Club. Universally rated as being in the world's top 20 golf courses, the Royal Dornoch Championship Course is unique among the great links of Scotland in that it has never hosted the Open Championship. Not a reflection of its quality, this is solely because of Dornoch's Northerly location. However remote it may be this links is a must play course on any golfing trip to Scotland. A stiff but fair test of golf, the Championship Course rewards the strategist who is on top of their game with the 6626 yard layout more than a match for most.

Day 4
Rusacks St. Andrews (4 nights)
St Andrews is a must-visit destination: from being a Scottish setting for Royal romance, to its famous West Sands beach which was immortalized in the Oscar-winning movie Chariots of Fire, it's Cathedral, aquarium and boutiques. Oh, and did we mention golf? Rusacks Hotel is within a sand wedge of the 18th hole of the world-famous Old Course. Stylishly remodeled on a golfing theme, Rusacks Hotel offers luxurious accommodation occupied by some of the great names in the game's history. Unquestionably Scotland's greatest golfing hotel, we even have a dedicated Golf Concierge so you won't miss a thing. Rusacks Hotel is delighted to announce a multi-million pound refurbishment to include all bedrooms, reception areas and new roof top bar and restaurant opening late spring 2021 – the next generation.
1 Round at Trump International Golf Links
The golf course follows a classic pattern of two out-and-back loops of nine holes. All 18 holes thread their way engagingly through the dunes, rising here to find views of the sea and coastline, plunging there into secluded valleys, offering a sequence of superlative topographies, landscapes, alternating between spaciousness and enclosure, then panoramic view, and the whole time a rich texture of vegetation and wildlife habitats surrounding the golf holes. The golf course will lack for nothing. The landscape framework of the site comes close to an ideal. There is nothing missing and the layout as conceived would contain no weak holes. It will produce simply the most dramatic, stimulating, invigorating stretch of golf anywhere I have seen in my career”. Dr. Martin Hawtree (architect).
Day 5
1 Round at Kingsbarn Golf Links
The passion of Kingsbarns is to host you for a memorable round of traditional Scottish links golf. Kingsbarns Golf Links is situated 7 miles from St Andrews along 1.8 miles of picturesque North Sea coastline, where each hole embraces the sea.
