7 hotels in Scotland with a package you can travel on this date.
Most Popular1 packageOn Scotland's east coast, this hotel sits beside the Carnoustie Championship Course, an eight-time Open Championship venue and one of the most demanding links tests in the game, with firm fairways, deep bunkers and winding burns that require real commitment on every shot. Two further courses, Burnside and Buddon Links, share the same coastal character but offer a gentler round, making the resort workable for groups of mixed ability. Rooms and lodges look out over the courses or coastline, dining stays casual and clubhouse-style, and the town of Carnoustie is a short walk away, with St Andrews under an hour's drive for those wanting to extend the trip.
Most Popular3 packagesSet in Ayrshire around 40 minutes from Glasgow, in the heart of Scotland’s west coast links belt, Dundonald Links is built around a modern championship links course designed by Kyle Phillips, the architect behind Kingsbarns. The course weaves through natural dunes and sandy terrain, with wide fairways, clever bunkering and large, rolling greens that reward good strategy over brute strength — firm, fast and visually impressive, with wind playing a big role in how it plays from one day to the next. The resort itself is modern and comfortable, with accommodation in stylish lodges and rooms set around the course, an easy walk to the first tee, practice facilities and clubhouse. The clubhouse restaurant serves good Scottish produce, and the location between Troon and Irvine puts Royal Troon, Western Gailes and Prestwick all within easy reach.
Most Popular6 packagesJust off the M80 near Cumbernauld, Westerwood sits about 20 minutes from Glasgow with easy reach of Stirling and Edinburgh too, and open views towards the Campsie Hills give it a countryside feel without being remote. The on-site 18-hole course, designed by Seve Ballesteros and Dave Thomas, has previously hosted European Tour qualifying events and rewards sharp approach play more than sheer distance, with well-protected greens and clever bunkering throughout. The hotel itself is contemporary rather than country-house grand, with practical, well-sized rooms suited to golf groups, plus a full spa, indoor pool, sauna and steam room to unwind in afterwards.
Most Popular5 packagesOverlooking the River Tweed just outside Peebles in the Scottish Borders, Cardrona is built for straightforward comfort rather than boutique polish. Its Dave Thomas–designed championship course has previously hosted Challenge Tour events and runs through scenic riverside and hillside scenery. Rooms are spacious and practical, many looking out over the water or surrounding hills, and the hotel's leisure club, complete with pool, gym and spa treatments, gives guests plenty to do once the round is finished. Dining stays relaxed and informal, and the overall pace suits golfers, walkers and weekend visitors who want scenery and ease over formality.
4 packagesSet in open countryside around 20 minutes from central Edinburgh, Dalmahoy pairs a baronial-style country house with two golf courses on its own grounds. The East Course is the championship layout, having staged European Tour events in the past, and stretches out across wide parkland fairways with just enough bunkering to make you think. The shorter West Course is the friendlier option, well suited to a second round or groups with mixed abilities. Inside, rooms mix classic and contemporary styles, and a leisure club with pool, sauna and steam room sits alongside a restaurant, bar and lounge for relaxed evenings once the golf is done. Its proximity to Edinburgh Airport and the city centre makes it an easy pick for short breaks.
2 packagesPerched on a clifftop with sweeping views across St Andrews Bay, Fairmont St Andrews sits about ten minutes from the Old Course and the town centre, giving guests easy reach of "the Home of Golf" without staying right in it. Two championship courses, the Torrance and the Kittocks, make full use of the coastal setting, with rolling fairways and sea views that stay testing without punishing the average club golfer. The hotel itself brings genuine five-star scale: spacious rooms with sea or course views, several restaurants and bars, a full spa, indoor pool and gym. It suits groups and couples equally well, especially where not everyone in the party wants to spend the whole trip on the course.
2 packagesAn hour's drive from both Edinburgh and Glasgow, Gleneagles feels entirely self-contained once you're on the estate, a grand Scottish country house with big lounges, open fires and views rolling out over Perthshire. Three championship courses give the golf real range: the PGA Centenary, host of the 2014 Ryder Cup, sits alongside the more traditional King's and Queen's Courses for a mix of modern and old-school design. Rooms carry a proper five-star polish without tipping into showy, and the resort backs it up with fine dining, a spa, pool, gym and a long list of country pursuits, making it just as suited to mixed groups as to golf-only trips.
