Scotland is home to over 500 golf courses, and many are considered among the best in the world. Here are some of the most notable Scottish courses for golfers of all levels.

St. Andrews - Golf has been played on this historic course for over 500 years. This history combined with the course’s notoriously challenging bunkers attracts golfers from around the world.

Muirfield - Located in East Lothian, known as the sunniest corner of Scotland, Muirfield has welcomed novice and professional golfers to its 7,245 yard course since the late 1800s. As of 2010, 42 championships had been held on the legendary course.

Kingsbarns - At just over 18 years old, Kingsbarns is one of Scotland’s newest courses. The course snakes along the rugged coast of the North Sea and offers breathtaking views.
