RYDER CUP 2014 A little over 90 years ago 20 men assembled at Gleneagles in the heartland of Scotland for an international challenge match between Great Britain and the United States.

Among them were golfing greats such as Harry Vardon, J.HTaylor and Walter Hagen.

The 1921 match had no name, no real fanfare and no trophy to play for - but it whetted the appetite and eventually gave rise to the phenomenon of The Ryder Cup, first officially played six years later.

Scotland, the Home of Golf looks forward to welcoming the world in 2014.

And you could be there to witness history in the making! After winning five of the last six events will the European side be able to complete the hat-trick? How will Europe’s new captain, Paul McGinley, fare against one of the true giants of the game in Tom Watson? And will the European talisman Ian Poulter be able to reproduce the form that has made him virtually unplayable in the event?

With the big event fast-approaching, now is the time to book that once-in-a-lifetime golfing experience to see the world’s most exciting sporting event. We’ve got some fantastic packages available to make your Ryder Cup dreams a reality. All deals include: • Five nights’ hotel accommodation • Breakfast every day • Celebration evening

East Lothian

The Open Championship

With 22 courses along 30 miles of stunning coastline, complemented by the backdrop of the iconic Bass Rock, it’s little wonder that East Lothian is known as Scotland‘s Golf Coast. The region enjoys an unusual golf-friendly micro climate all of its own providing great year-round conditions.

There are very few places on earth blessed with such a high concentration of Championship links courses, making it the perfect venue for a golf tour. Top billing goes to the legendary Muirfield - home to this years’ Open Championship - but there is a very strong supporting cast that includes Final Qualifying hosts such as North Berwick, Gullane, Dunbar and historic Musselburgh. With such variety of courses, including both links and parkland - all in close proximity to each other, there’s something to suit every budget and standard of player. Edinburgh Airport is just a short drive from the region and there are exceptional road and rail links allowing easy accessibility from all areas.

Ayrshire & West Scotland

Fife & Angus

Ayrshire is arguably one of the richest areas of Scotland in terms of its golf heritage. Home of the first ever Open Championship – hosted at Prestwick in 1860 – and joined by current venues Troon and Turnberry, this is definitely the ideal destination for the golf aficionado.

Western Gailes, Glasgow Gailes and Kilmarnock Barassie are regular Open Qualifying venues with Western Gailes having also hosted the Curtis Cup, PGA Championship and Scottish Open. You’ll also find some local gems in Belleisle and Irvine Bogside as well as more modern masterpieces in the Kyle Phillips designed Dundonald Links – often hailed as a rival to Kingsbarns.

Perhaps the most visited area of Scotland for golfers, Fife is infamous for the town of St Andrews – a mecca of golf and arguably the most famous place on the golfing map. There are seven courses that make up the St Andrews Links with the legendary Old Course featuring on everybody’s must-play list. The town is an ideal base to explore the area - head South to enjoy Leven Links or Elie GC and perhaps Kingsbarns for an extra special treat. A wee journey North of St Andrews you’ll find Scotscraig and as you head into Angus, why not make a visit to Carnoustie and enjoy a round on one of the toughest Open Championship tracks – Carnoustie. Buddon and Burnside are local gems that appeal to all types of player and provide a true Scottish experience.

The real character of the golf course is through the 6th to 14th holes, a stretch that takes golfers out to the sea and, with a wind off the Firth of Forth, leaves one in no doubt as to its seaside character.
