Many golfers dream of playing the St. Andrews Old Course. Scotland is second only to the US in the number of courses on any top 100 list.
Most golfers are familiar with the great links of Scotland, especially those that have hosted the Open Championship: St. Andrews, Carnoustie, Turnberry, Royal Troon, Gleneagles, Prestwick, and so on. These, arguably, are some of the best and most famous golf courses in the world. But there are many more fine courses scattered across the country that you should be aware of. Traditionally, Scotland has always been broken down into four geographic areas - The Heartland, The Southeast, The Southwest and, of course the Scottish Highlands, Braveheart country.
