Thursday - Day 6
 Play today at North Berwick . Like St.Andrews the links starts and finishes in the town. One of Scotland's earliest golf clubs and correspondingly a very traditional links layout.

TRAVEL PROTECTION PLAN - InterGolf Vacations recommends that you have luggage, accident and trip cancellation insurance.

You may learn more about the InterGolf Vacations Travel Protection Plan by visiting here. If purchased within seven days of the initial deposit, this Protection Plan includes a "Cancellation for Any Reason" waiver. The Protection Plan is only available to Citizens or Permanent Residents of the USA or Canada.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Changes: After deposits have been received and confirmation has been issued, any changes requested by the client are subject to an administrative fee of $50.00 per change per person in addition to any charges which may be made by suppliers for cancellations. In most cases, changes cannot be made less than 60 days before travel.
Handicap Certificate: Most courses require visitors to be a member of a recognized golf club and to hold official handicaps, with some courses imposing a maximum handicap restriction. InterGolf Vacations endorses this viewpoint and recommends that players travel with a valid handicap certificate from their golf club which they may be required to produce.
Prestwick: The club welcomes both gentlemen and lady visitors alike. It should be noted that due to a number of long carries over gorse and heather the course plays particularly difficult for ladies.
Western Gailes: This is a private male club and while ladies are welcome to play the course, it should be noted that there are no "Official" ladies tees in operation, thus making the course a tough test for all but the most accomplished player.
Please note that lunch in the clubhouse is included in your green fee and is taken in the main dining room (Lunch not included on Sundays). Dress code for the dining room is appropriate golfing attire.
