TAH,

If you are going over in the spring then I would recommend sticking to links golf courses. Here are a few that I would play myself:

Prestwick - This course was the first to hold the British Open and it was played over 12 holes. Taken off the rota in 1925. It has one of the most famous bunkers in the world called Cardinal. It is around £90 for a round

Turnberry (Ailsa) - For me Turnberry is the second best links course in Scotland after Royal Dornoch. It is famous for the 'Duel in the Sun' between Watson and Nicklaus (1976 I think) when Watson had to hole is last putt for a birdie to beat Nicklaus by one shot on the very last day of the British Open. It isn't cheap at £130 a round and the restaurant is also expensive.

Royal Troon - The Open is being played there next year so you might struggle to get on. Famous for 'The Postage Stamp' Par 3 where Tiger Woods took a six or eight in the last Open played there. The back nine is ridiculously difficult. Very expensive at £180.

Dundonald - this is the new course designed by Kyle Phillips who also designed Kingsbarns. I spoke to Kyle about a month ago and he was saying that everything had gone well. I know the course opened this year and it is a members course but I have heard that they will be taking greenfees next year. It is owned by the the Loch Lomond people.

For meg var Southerness links en åpenbaring. Meget bra og vasnskelig utfordrende bane...

Hvis du ikke bor langt fra Lillestrom , boer du ta en tur innom Reiselivsmessen ( Golf for Alle) i januar hvor jeg paa min Stand , har en representant fra Scottish Golf South West. Her vil du finne informasjon om over hundre baner i Arran, Ayrshire og Dumfries and Galloway.

I tillegg til de baner som er nevnt vil jeg foreslaa Irvine Bogside.
