My wife—who is an even bigger golf nut than me—and I just got back from a golf vacation to Scotland. We took two weeks and saw the Northern and Western parts of the country. We booked our golf vacation through Golf Holidays. The site was highly recommended to us by one of Beth’s friends, and I am so glad that we investigated the packages available on this site.
During our first week in the Northern portion, we played amazing rounds of golf at the Royal Dornoch on an absolutely gorgeous and regal course. I can’t even begin to tell you what a wonderful time we had. The scenery was breathtaking and we relished the time to catch up with each other and just enjoy each other’s company. The greens were beautifully manicured and maintained and the sites from the course were spectacular. Everyone we saw at the course was friendly and the employees were courteous and very helpful with the questions we had. We stayed at the Eagle Hotel, which was only about a half mile from the golf course, so we did not need to drive. The hotel reminded us of a pub. It reminded Beth and me of our college semester abroad in London, which is where we met. The hotel’s owners, Paul and Irene, made sure that all our needs and wants were met. We have such praise for the couple that we plan to go back.
We spent our second week in the Western part of Scotland and stayed at the Parkstone Hotel. This hotel, too, was wonderful and so reasonably priced. The bed was very comfortable and the room itself was immaculate. The service was exceptional. The accommodations were excellent and it was very close to both the Preswick Golf Club and the St. Nicholas Golf Club. Beth and I had a fabulous time playing both courses. Nothing compares to playing on courses that date back to the 1800s.
We had such a great time in Scotland that leaving to return home was difficult. Our biggest dilemma for our next trip through Golf Holidays is this; are we going to try new places to stay and play, or are we going to go back to the ones we have already been to? Next year when we book our next vacation, it will be through Golf Holidays. We are sure of that. We just need to decide where to go. There really are so many choices.

I love playing golf especially when I go away on vacation on a special golf holiday and have been to a few courses in Scotland too. I dont have the time to practise. I was lucky to find out about a simple golf swing that can be learnt in under an hour. It is not a perfect swing like Tiger or Ernie, but it gets the job done and helps me enjoy my golf so much more and helps me play well, even when I am on vacation and don't know the course. There is an independent review of the swing here --> Simple Golf Swing Review
