On arrival at the Glasgow Airport you will be met by InterGolf Vacations personnel who will assist you with your luggage and transfer to your transportation.

Overnight: Carnoustie Golf Hotel: Executive Park View Room - including Scottish breakfast (1 Room, 2 passengers)



Day 3

Today play Panmure Set in the same stretch of coastline as Carnoustie, you will find Panmure to be a pleasant links course, with narrow fairways and punishing rough.

Overnight: Carnoustie Golf Hotel: Executive Park View Room - including Scottish breakfast (1 Room, 2 passengers)



Day 4

Today play Carnoustie , host to the British Open on six previous occasions and considered by many to be the most challenging of all Open venues. While the links is relatively flat it is exposed to the elements. A combination of length and accuracy are required from the tee and approach shots demand precision to the greens heavily guarded by steep bunkers and burns. Arguably the toughest finishing holes in championship golf, the course will host the world's best again in 2007 when the Open returns to this wonderful venue.

Overnight: Kilmarnock Arms Hotel: Standard Room - including Scottish breakfast (1 Room, 2 passengers)



Day 5

Today play the outstanding Cruden Bay , which provides panoramic views of the North Sea from various points on the course. The greens are hidden between large sand dunes, and blind shots are featured prominently on this challenging links. This remarkable course was recently included in Golf magazine's ''100 Greatest Courses in the World''.

Overnight: Claymore House Hotel: Standard Room - including Scottish breakfast (1 Room, 2 passengers)



Day 6

Golf today on Royal Dornoch . You have the opportunity to play the most northerly of the Championship courses of the British Isles. Dornoch is perhaps more than most, a thinking golfers' course where it is not enough simply to keep the ball on the fairway. The greens are generally open in the front, but they are also set on plateaux several feet above the fairway, a feature that Donald Ross took from his home course and used on many of his classic designs.
A very limited supply of golf carts are available for hire. Certain restrictions may apply, please advise your Golf Travel Specialist. Please note strict handicap limits are set and enforced by the club. Men 24 & Ladies 35. It is a requirement of the club to produce your handicap certificate or letter of introduction from the club pro, prior to play.

Day 7

Play today at Nairn , a renowned links course and venue of many major tournaments, including the 1993 British Amateur Championship and the 1999 Walker Cup Matches. This traditional links layout makes its way along the shore of the Moray Firth, then returns to the clubhouse through whin and gorse bushes.

Overnight: Claymore House Hotel: Standard Room - including Scottish breakfast (1 Room, 2 passengers)
