Last checked

Can we play it?

Yes. Weekends are open in the April–September season. The club says May, June, July and September fill up, with many international visitors booking years ahead. A handicap certificate is required. Add it to your trip and Scotland Golf Tours requests the tee time for you.

  • Access

    Monday to Friday all year; Saturday, Sunday and bank holidays in April–September (Sunday also in March). Winter maintenance (usually November–March) can mean closed holes or fairway mats.

  • The catch

    Full payment is taken up front. Cancel less than 3 months out and you lose your deposit, but the booking is transferable to someone else.

  • Our tip

    Book as soon as your dates are fixed, especially for May–September. Ask for a look at the Ryder Cup Room: S&A hosted the 1933 and 1937 matches.
