My friend and I are set to go to Scotland for two weeks in May/June '06. We have our Old Course tee time secured, and I'm looking for suggestions on other "must-plays". We will have time to play about eight courses. Right now we're looking at:
Machrihanish
Machrie
Western Gailes
Prestwick
Royal Troon
Cruden Bay
Royal Aberdeen
North Berwick
Other thoughts are:
Kingsbarns
Scottscraig
Machrie and Machrihanish are must-plays on my list. There is a big festival on Islay during the first weekend we're there. "Islay Whisky Festival". Should we plan to be in Islay and play those two courses while the Festival is going on? In other words, has anyone been to this festival? Is a worth going to? Or should we schedule our time there after the festival is over, so that we can avoid the hecticness, and do the Whisky Trail up north during that time?
Any real-world advice is appreciated from those who have been and done.
Any speculative advice from those who are planning or considering such a trip is also welcomed.
The rest of you? Your ideas are always welcome.:sc:
