Scotland is known worldwide as ‘the home of golf’.  Visitors have been coming to Scotland for golf holidays for over 100 years and there are 550 courses, more per head of population than almost anywhere else in the world.

Visitors with an interest in golfing have been considered by VisitScotland in the development of the Golfers Welcome scheme. It recognises the special efforts made by operators to provide for such visitors and to help them choose suitable accommodation.

Visitors who enjoy golf like to be made to feel welcome.  They appreciate having lockable storage for golf clubs; a daily weather forecast; or details of local transport, golf shops, or tee-off times.

Those wishing to apply for the Golfers Welcome Scheme should display a positive attitude towards golfers and a genuine desire to meet and anticipate their needs.
