Course recommendations on the way to Scotland

[NWJocko]

A few options already mentioned, not played Lanark myself but heard good things about it from a few different people.

One option that hasn't been mentioned is taking the Biggar Road (A720) across from the M74 to Edinburgh and West Linton is pretty much on that road. Again I haven't played it but meant to be good. Time wise wouldn't add too much I don't think depending on the Forth Bridge.

Another one, just off the A9, would be auchterarder (or gleneagles even if you were feeling flash)

 

[Simbo]

30 mins of the A9 from Perth and you have downfield, cracking course that.

Looks lovely, but it's on the wrong side of the coast!

So it is. I just re read the thread 😁 apologies

I just wouldn't look past Silloth personally, even if it does add an hour to the journey.

Where in Scotland are you going to? Can confirm Lanark is excellent.

Well we have played Silloth and loved it, but we want to try somewhere new.

We stay up in Boat of Garten from Sat to Thurs. This year we are then driving to Irvine and staying at the Western Gailes Hotel and playing there and another course on the Thurs and Friday before heading home.

What about going up the M1 instead of M6 (I have no idea if that'll make it a hugely longer trip up) and have a look at one of the East Lothian courses? North Berwick & Gullane are both brilliant. From there, quick pop over the Forth bridge and you're laughing.

If you're going that far and for a short detour you can look at Crieff, Auchterarder, Muckhart or Pitlochry all between Stirling and Perth except for Pitlochry. Depends when you are setting off really if you are looking at that late during the drive.
