HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR FEATURED GOLF & MUSIC TOUR TO SCOTLAND IN SUMMER 2025:

(Click on the arrows to view photos in the slideshow)

Dumbarnie is the newest addition to Scotland’s great “links” courses and now a “must-play” when visiting St. Andrews.

Kingsbarns is probably the most scenic “links” course near St. Andrews with spectacular coastal views.

Carnoustie is considered to be the toughest of the Open Championship courses. One can see the Barry Burn that meanders though the course and crosses just in front of the 18th green.

The third championship course at the Home of Golf, the Jubilee is considered by many to be the most challenging course on the famous Links.

The famous Swilcan Bridge on the 18th hole of the Old Course at St Andrews with the Old Course Hotel in the background.

Situated adjacent to the Old course, the New is often referred to as the local’s favourite because it is tighter and more defined than the Old.

The Castle Course at St Andrews with beautiful views of the town and the sea.

The Balcomie Links golf course overlooks striking views of the beach to the Firth of Forth, and is the home of the seventh oldest golf club in the world – Crail Golfing Society.

TESTIMONIALS

♦

Thank you so much for organizing our amazing stay at St Andrews. We could not believe the views, great access, and lovely accommodations. We loved how close we were to The Dunvegan! What an amazing trip and wonderful vacation that we will be talking about for years. At least with our next trip to Scotland we “get it” now. What a great experience we had. Thank you for everything. Much appreciated!

Thank you both for making our trip so very special…it was beyond any of our expectations, and truly was our best trip ever! The last night at Dromoland Castle was unbelievable. We enjoyed walking the grounds, lounging in our wonderful room #310, and exploring the castle. It was a perfect ending. So very fun to meet you both…you went above and beyond to make us feel special.

This was a perfect trip. I could write all day about how wonderful it all was. Everything I hoped for came true. I had no idea though that I would enjoy the other group members so much. I think starting with BIG Jim’s Birthday, everyone felt like we were old friends. It all seemed so personal. Every detail of this trip was well thought out. We loved the people, the food, the hotels and castle. David so rarely travels and he is ready to go again. You made it all so easy.

Roger is still talking about all the great courses he played while in Ireland and Scotland in 2019. In fact, he told me that his knees were shaking when he hit his drive off the first tee of The Old Course in St. Andrews. As a non-golfer, I really enjoyed learning about the history of all the courses, and visiting the ‘Hill House,’ designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh while the rest of you played golf at Loch Lomond, was a perfect thing for me to do.

Thank you so much for helping us with our epic adventure. Your attention to detail was perfect. This tour had so many moving parts and it went together quite seamlessly. We had great weather in Scotland and the golf and sights were lovely. St Andrews is such a charming town and playing the Old Course was a highlight. We will think back on this trip and smile for years to come.

Kevin and Taba provided our group a wonderful, once-in-a-lifetime experience. From the luxury transportation to the golf and hotel arrangements, every last detail was taken care of and well organized. Ours was not an easy trip to organize because we played 15 rounds of golf in 10 days, all around Scotland, but Kevin and Taba made it easy on us. If anyone is considering a golf trip to Ireland or the U.K. we would unequivocally recommend having Kevin and Taba craft the trip for them.
