How to find a Golf Vacation in Scotland

Step 1: Look at a map of Scotland such as the ones available on nls.uk and narrow it down to which location you would like to plan your golf vacation to. If you already know which location or golf course you would like to vacation to, use this information to search for your golf vacation.

Step 2: Compile a list of activities you would like to do while you visit Scotland. Make notes of accommodation requirements and amenities you would like to utilize while you are staying in the resort or hotel. Note the must see historical attractions that you would like to see in the area, as this simplifies the search process.

Step 3: Research different golf vacation options on Golf Vacations Scotland.com as well as Golf Around Scotland.net to find the exact area and location that is of interest to your needs. Use a keyword search on each site using the words; golf resort, golf packages, golf courses and historical tours. Collect the information from both websites before making a decision about what golf vacation package you would like to purchase.

Step 4: Contact a travel agency in your area that specializes in Scotland golf packages and have them tailor a package to your needs.

Step 5: Choose a package deal or create your own Scotland golf vacation and make reservations and book your flight to your golf vacation destination in Scotland.

Tips

You can also gather information from the travel agency such as folders and brochures on Scotland golf vacation spots and you can create and book your own Scotland golf vacation. Ask the travel agent if there are additional items that can be added on to your package such as historical tours and sightseeing adventures; sometimes these incentives can be provided at little to no cost as an addition to certain packages. Make sure that the travel agency you use whether they are online or in person, are supported by the Better Business Bureau. Be sure to ask if the vacation is inclusive or not; meaning, are certain dinners and food included as well as golf or tours to landmarks and museums in the area. Call around to more than one travel agency if desired and ask them if they would beat the package price you were quoted from another agency. Travel agencies are very competitive for your business.

Never give out personal information to agents or clients you don't trust. Never pay upfront for packages without first seeing exactly what the vacation will consist of and what the names of the resort and courses are.
