was the
best holiday ever.

We created this website for one reason only
-- to offer you free information on how to
create your own independent golfing holiday
in Scotland. Where to play, where to stay,
what to do all day.
Do you have the desire and time to play golf in
Scotland and want to travel independently
but don't quite know how to go about it?
You want the freedom to be on your own--to
play and stay where you wish--but also the
feeling of security and comfort? Then Golf Nook Scotland is for you, someone who not only plays golf
but also wants to see and appreciate the
local scenes, the history, the people and
their culture...and do it your way.
Independent golf travel in Scotland has two
superb advantages.
You spend less and see more when you plan
your own Scottish golf tour.
1. You can save large amounts of money
2. You can play hidden Scottish golf treasures
that commercial tour groups do not.
Scottish links golf courses grow out of the
land. To appreciate them and fully enjoy
them, it helps to know something of the history
and the culture out of which they were born.
The little things are what define a
place--the
small details that most golfing travelers in Scotland (especially those in golf tour groups) never
have the time or opportunity to enjoy. But
you will, because as an independent golfing traveler
your aim is not to play and bolt (or should
we say hit and run?) these great Scottish
links courses, but to experience the richness
and unexpected delights of the local Scottish
culture.
Benefit from our golfing and non-golfing
experience in Scotland
Are you like us...one (Richard) who loves the game of golf
and plays to a mid-handicap, the other (Mary-Alice,
obviously) who is not a golfer but loves
the architecture, aesthetics, and tradition
of Scottish golf courses as well as spending
time in the British Isles? But how do you
create an independent golf vacation in Scotland
to please both the golfer and non-golfer?
Well, we have found a way. If you are committed
to independent golf travel, blending in with
and savouring the local scene, you can benefit
greatly from our golfing/non-golfing experiences.
Golf Nook Scotland explains how both of you end up happy because
while the golfer is enjoying the delights
of the incomparable Scottish links golf courses,
the non-golfer is enjoying the delights of
the area. And keep in mind this good news...
Independent golfing travel saves you lots
of money.
Does this sound like you? Someone who really loves the game of golf--the
history and tradition of golf, the great
players and famous courses, the skill involved,
the game itself with all its frustrations
and rewards. The one who maintains a respectful
silence at golf tournaments while the person
next to you screams "GET IN THE HOLE"
or the one who replaces divots and repairs
your own ball mark and then looks for another
to repair, or the one in your foursome who
suggests letting the group behind you play
through. Do you love the lore and the aesthetics
of the great courses? If so, we believe you
will enjoy and benefit from this website.
