Scotland

Ayrshire & Arran, Machrihanish & The Isles, Glasgow, Dumfries & Galloway
Coming 2027
This guide opens on Ayrshire's Open Championship coast — Royal Troon, Prestwick and Turnberry within a few miles of one another — then heads out to island golf on Arran and one of the game's most remote and distinctive courses at Machrihanish. Glasgow and the quieter links of Dumfries & Galloway round out a corner of Scotland most visitors pass straight through on their way somewhere else.
