We are proud to announce that Cara, our golf promoter in the North Of Scotland, broke the ladies course record on Royal Dornoch Golf Course this week.

ROYAL Dornoch scratch player Cara Gruber, 24, produced the best round of golf ever played by a woman over the links yesterday when she shot a 69 - seven under par from the Ladies Golf Union tees - in the SLGA brooch ladies' club medal.

Well done Cara! To hold the tag "best round ever by a woman" at Royal Dornoch is a fantastic record to own as Dornoch is a very famous old and established golf course in the North of Scotland. It is not an easy golf course either - Playing golf like that we are sure that we will see you on the ladies professional tour one day!

2005-05-05T13:32:00.000Z

They have three halls of residence all within half a mile of the Old Course. The prices for a single bed room start at £550 for 7 days with double bed room at £1,100.

You can only book the accommodation for 7 days.

More information and booking can be found at the University site at..

St Andrews British Open Accommodation

2005-03-19T17:06:00.000Z

As we are a local golf travel company we have had several owners contacting us to let us know about available accommodation for the 2005 British Open Golf Champoinship at St Andrews.

We now have a selection of delightful 2 and 3 bedroom self catering properties, in and around St Andrews which are available for rent during the period of the Open. The British Open Golf Championsip at St Andrews will be held between the 14th and 17th of July.

The accommodation will be let on a first come first served basis.

Staying in St Andrews during the British Open has many advantages especially when it comes to car parking. Those of you that know St Andrews are probably aware that the traffic around the town can be "hectic" to say this least, during the time of the British Open Golf.

Tickets can be purchased at the gates throught the day and as far as I know will be priced around £40 - £45 per day.

St Andrews, the home of golf, is a charming town and as you would expect, is full of atmosphere during the time of The British Open

If you are thinking on staying in St Andrews for The British Open and would like to book accommodation please contact us either by using the form on our Scotland Golf Website at

http://www.scotlandgolfbreaks.co.uk/

or by emailing Eoin onmailto:eoin@mackintosh.plus.com

New Scotland Golf Tours

2005-03-19T17:03:00.000Z

This year we, at www.scotlandgolfbreaks.co.uk will be able to provide you with a great new list of Scotland Golf Holidays.

In fact, we can now cover the whole of Scotland including the Old Course at St Andrews.

Scotland Golf Breaks originally started as a site where we could offer golfing holidays for people on a limited budget that wanted to play some of our "hidden gem" courses. We thought this was a great idea because, for the large part, many people who come to play golf in Scotland had only heard of the major courses like, St Andrews Golf Course, Gleneagles Golf Course, Carnoustie Golf Course, Troon Golf Course, Blairgowrie Golf Course etc. when there are hundreds of other small course available to play.

These smaller courses are pretty much underplayed during the week and to be perfectly honest offer better value than some of the more widely known courses.

Due to the amount of people that have contacted us we decided to branch out a little bit and offer tee times on the more "famous" courses.

So if you are planning a Scotland Golf Holiday all you need do is go to our website at..

http://www.scotlandgolfbreaks.co.uk

..and fill in the form we have there. Just give us an idea on where you would like to play or simply ask us to recommend someplace if you would like to play the "hidden gems" that we are so proud of.

We'll make up a no obligation itinery for you and you can take it from there.

Rest assured if price is a problem we can compete with anyone and you are guaranteed to have a great holiday.

Scotland Golf: Dunkeld Area

2005-03-19T17:01:00.000Z

Perthshire can offer visiting golfers the very best of Scottish golf. Choose from idyllic parkland settings, heathland courses, highland layouts with breathtaking scenery and many "hidden gems" located in the area.

You'll find some of these "hidden gem" courses if you base your holiday in the beautiful and historic town of Dunkeld.

The Historic Town of Dunkeld.

Dunkeld is perfectly positioned, 12 miles from the city of Perth and only one hour drive from Glasgow and Edinburgh airports.

Dunkeld has it's own spectacular golf course recently upgraded from 9 holes to 18. This golf course is a true "hidden gem" that most will have never heard of. It's not a long course but some of the holes just have to be played to be believed. These holes are shaped out of the natural landscape and standing on the tee you will wonder what you let yourself in for!

Dunkeld Golf Course

From Dunkeld, you can take the short drive, about 10 miles to Pitlochry. Pitlochry is known the world over as "The Gateway To the Highlands" with it's abundance of shops, pubs, restaurants and historical sites. For golfers the Pitlochtry course is another one that has to be played to be believed. It is quite hilly, but once you get over the first 4 holes you are literally on top of the World. The views down the valley are quite astonishing. In fact, I played there once and two RAF fighter planes came up the valley. Would you believe I could look DOWN on them.

The third, "hidden gem" course in the area is Taymouth Castle. Just 10 miles or so from your base in Dunkeld you'll find the little village of Kenmore that sits right on the mouth of the River Tay and on the edge of Loch Tay. It's a beautiful little village that is well worth exploring for an hour or two. The golf course is the the grounds of Taymouth Castle. A property that may be undergoing renovation shortly to make it into a seven star hotel.

The Village of Kenmore and Taymouth Castle Golf Club

The parkland course is not very hilly but offers a magnificent challenge to any golfer. With beautiful views and carefully crafted holes.

These are the three great unknown courses in the area but from Dunkeld it's only a short drive to the more famous Scottish Golf Courses, like Carnoustie, Blairgowrie, Gleneagles or even St Andrews.

We think Dunkeld is the ideal base for a relaxing Scottish golfing holiday and if you would us to help you book a short stay please contact us via or web site at http://www.scotlandgolfbreaks.co.uk/ . In fact we are based in Dunkeld so we are right on the doorstep to make sure you have an enjoyable holiday.

Golf Around Blairgowrie

2005-03-18T14:47:00.000Z

I actually live in Blairgowrie so I suppose I am a little bias however it is one of the best "unknown" golfing areas in Scotland with 5 courses all within 5 miles.

Only 14 miles from Perth and 20 miles from Dundee, the small town of Blairgowrie sits on the foothills of the Grampian Mountains making it an ideal base to tour Scotland. You are never far from anyplace here, even places like Edinburgh and Aberdeen are within fairly easy reach if you are prepared to sit in the car for an hour or so.

If you come here to play golf for a week though you are not going to have much time to get around and see the sites.

The most famous Golf Course in the area is Blairgowrie which has two 18 hole courses, Rosemount and Landsdown. It also boasts one of the best 9 hole "wee courses" anywhere in Scotland. The "wee course" is perfect for a fun game after dinner on those long summer evenings.

5 miles from Blairgowrie is the little town of Alyth where there are three 18 hole golf courses. Two of the courses, Glenisla and Alyth sit side by side separated only by a road. The other course Strathmore is a mile away.

Strathmore Golf Club.

Glenisla and Strathmore both have driving ranges for those of us that like to hit a few buckets to loosen up. The Strathmore and the Glenisla courses have been built recently and now that the trees are growing both offer an excellent golfing challenge. All the courses around Alyth welcome groups and large parties.

Glenisla Golf Club.

There is an abundance of hotels and small guest houses in the area, all near the courses although you would need a car to get to all the 5 courses. There are a few pubs and restaurants that offer great value meals and hospitality.

If you were considering a Scotland Golf Holiday that won't "burst the bank" I highly recommend coming to this area. It's fairly undiscovered and the courses are not very busy. The pace of life is very slow and there are a ton of things to do if the weather goes against you or you have non golfers in your party.

We at http://www.scotlandgolfbreaks.co.uk/ can easily arrange a tour for you and your party. Simply use our form on the website, tell us you would like to visit this area and we will give you a no obligation quote.
