When to Plan Your Golf Break
The Scottish golf season typically runs from April to October, with April and May often offering the driest conditions and great value. September is another excellent time to visit, with quieter courses and competitive green fees.
Many popular courses, especially championship venues, require advance booking during peak season. However, there are also plenty of more relaxed courses where you can simply turn up and play.
Golf in Scotland can be more affordable than expected, particularly in spring and autumn, and there are often great value regional golf passes available.
