Hear from some of our amazing customers who love playing golf in St Andrews.

"Scotland for Golf is a first class organization. Scott helped up plan and prepare for our 10 days in Scotland, with 6 rounds of golf, at some of the best golf courses in the world. All hotel reservations made. All tee times provided on all courses. He provided everything from picking us up at the airport to dropping us off after it was over. "
