Golf

When it comes to the Open Championship, regarded by many as the biggest and best event on the global golfing calendar, Scotland and its golfing public are spoilt. That's because the event is staged in the 'Home of Golf' at least every other year, with St Andrews, Muirfield, Carnoustie, Royal Troon and Turnberry all on the list of selected venues for this annual golfing extravaganza.

Scottish golf fans are already gearing up for the 'Open Championship' in the 'Home of Golf'. In 2009, the event will make a welcome return to Turnberry after an absence of 15 years.

Golfers of more modest ambitions can also play on the Championship courses or pick from hundreds of others.  What makes golf in Scotland so special isn't just the quality of the courses but also the warm welcome you'll receive. The Scots have a reputation throughout the world for being friendly and nowhere is this friendliness to visitors more evident than on the  fairways and clubhouses of Scotland's golf clubs.

If you're looking to watch or play golf in 2009, Scotland is the ideal location. Come home to the 'Home of Golf in 2009'.
