Fife and St Andrews
While Scotland may be described as the Home of Golf, the true heart is in
the ancient Kingdom of Fife on the east coast of Scotland.
For many, a golf tour to Scotland is not complete without a visit to the historic
Royal Burgh of St Andrews. It is believed that golf was first played on the
Old Course of St Andrews over 600 years ago and even the
New Course at St. Andrews is over a hundred years old!
Golf in Fife offers a mix of parkland and links courses with over 45 golf courses
in the region, including the superb
Kingsbarns Links,
which opened in 2000, and the even more recent addition, the
St Andrews Castle course, which opened in 2008.
We have selected some of the best courses in the area for our tours. Choose from
