The game as we know it today originated in Scotland in 1457. It went through growing pains, banned on the Sabbath and had an early fan in Mary Queen of Scots, although her handicap is unknown. Welcome to the lands that not only birthed the sport but built some of the most gorgeous golf courses in the world.

In Ireland, a few of the courses include the Killarney Golf Club, the “K” Club, where the Ryder Cup was played in 2006, and Portmarnock, where Arnold Palmer won his first international tournament. The Portmarnock Golf Club will host the 2019 Amateur Championship, which will also be the club’s 125^th anniversary, and also the 70^th anniversary of the club’s hosting of the amateur championship, won by Max McCready in 1949. The Amateur Championship will take place June 17-22. Steeped in history, these courses will challenge even the most experienced golfer.

In Scotland, courses include St. Andrews (the old course), Gleneagles, and Royal Dornoch, among many others. Jack Nicklaus, also known as The Golden Bear, said about the old course at St. Andrews, “I fell in love with it the first day I played it. There’s just no other golf course that is even remotely close.” When The Golden Bear says it’s a great course, it’s a great course! Royal Dornoch, formed in 1877, means exceptional standards and they always aim to exceed the expectations of visitors. Royal Dornoch is spellbinding and many golfers from all over the world make the pilgrimage to this natural links at some point in their lives. It is often quoted as one of the must-play courses.
