Experience beautiful views of the coastline from the top of Gullane Hill and a stern test of golf. After your game, spend an hour or so in the local golf museum besides the pro shop and indulge in some classic retail therapy in the local hickory golf club shop; not something you see every day, even in Scotland!

Muirfield is one of the best and most traditional golf clubs in the world.

Pricing
This is just an example itinerary; we do not sell “off the shelf” packages. All of the golf trips we plan for our customers are bespoke, and so are the prices. Price depends on the dates you travel, party size, hotel rooms, transport choices, itinerary complexity and so on.
It’s no secret that booking through a tour operator like ourselves is more expensive than booking the golf trip by yourself . We’ve added links to all hotels and golf courses in the “at a glance” section if this is what you’re looking to do.
If however you’d rather leave the admin of 20 or 30 separate bookings to the experts and receive round the clock support and advice from a passionate, local golfer, then look no further. We’re confident in the level of service we provide to every customer and are proud to offer fair prices when compared to our competitors.
