This trip was very well organized by myself giving suggestions and a friend handling logistics.



This is the second “half” with the first part of the trip for four of us was in Ireland. We met up with the larger group timing our arrival from Dublin to Inverness. The itinerary below was adjusted a handful of time by a couple of us for several months. The first order of business on any Scotland trip is to secure your Old Course tee time, there are a few ways to do this. You can stay at a hotel that has guaranteed tee times such as the Old Course Hotel, you can enter the advance lottery or you can go down to the first tee really early morning and wait in the “queue” for hopefully a slot to open up later in the day.
This what our trip looked like after arrival from Ireland to Inverness.
