not for the price in your budget
Sounds heavenly! And Archerfields?
Check the 'golfsouthayrshire' site.
Loads of deals with a good balance of classic and VFM courses.
Abbotsford and Horizon Hotels in Ayr are good Golfing Hotels.
Remember if you are coming up in summer you can play late into the evenings. Twilight tickets at Turnberry Ailsa and Dundonald can bring them into budget. Late summer evening on Turnberry is as good as it gets.
Golf Inn at Gullane is a good base if you are doing East Lothian.
Gullane/North Berwick in the East, Ayr/Prestwick in the West.
Travel time from the Midlands to Edinburgh/Glasgow is only 5 hours.
Have you pretty much settled on Scotland? There is some really good value to be had in Ireland these days as their economy has really struggled and everyone is looking to 'do a deal' A group your size would have good bargaining power with courses and hotels.
Or another alternative might be the Lake district, Silloth and Seascale for starters?
Laughing Gravy.
I was at the Leeds/Hibs game 1967ish.
Jackie Charlton put the ball and the Hibs goalie into the nett at the end of the game to win, after Hibs had played them off the park.
A bit like a replay of the recent Hearts /Liverpool game [cough]
+1 for this area. Though it's Craigielaw, Luffness and Kilspindie. I'd also add Dunbar, Longniddry (though a 'semi-links') and Musselburgh/Monktonhall (pure parkland). Muirfield, Archerfield (and Renaissance) probably unvailable/out of price range though.
Accommodation is surprisingly sparce in the Gullane area, though North Berwick should have plenty available.
Kilspindie House (Ducks) is near Craigielaw and Gullane. Recently improved and may do deals on multiple night stays.
why Scotland?plenty of top courses in the north west of England that match any up north and you don't need a translator or funny money!Thanks to you all for your advice. It's appreciated for sure.
Looking like East Lothian for sure and perhaps moving further North for the subsequent trips.
Just need to narrow it down to the 5 courses and sort accommodation. Marine hotel looks too pricey. Will enquire about the Lodge at Craigielaw.
Thanks once again.

You said that without a smilie
Name those courses!
Silloth and and and.......
there's a cracking pitch and putt in southport,depends on the type of golf you like, i'm not a lover of links so some of those course don't appeal to me and yes i was tongue in cheek everyone knows SCOTLAND is the home of golf and has the best courses,you keep telling us!.Hillside, St Annes OL, Birkdale, West Lancs and maybe at a push Royal Liverpool................ not much else of note though in comparison to............well what coast of scotland and how far north are you wishing?
