Plan your Scottish golf vacation yourself---online, using the internet. This guide is sent to you in Adobe Acrobat with more than 230 website links that can be clicked-on so that you can review the golf courses and other sites while reading the guide. This gives you easy access to:

• Golf courses that you should play,
• Cost and how to get a tee time by e-mail
• Where to stay
• What to see when not playing golf

Not only are the world ranked golf course websites provided, along with guest fees and locations, but also the websites of hidden gems of Scotland.

There is a special section on St. Andrews —How to get on the Old Course, where to stay, dining, caddies, shopping, what to see in the area, what courses to play around St. Andrews, prices and a section on local history.

The Helpful Hints section gives you important information on many areas that you might not have thought of, based on Dean’s 14 vacations in Scotland over the past 25 years. Recommended courses and where to stay also are shown for the Angus/Carnoustie area, Aberdeen area (Northeast), The Highlands, Southwest courses and the less often visited Southern area.

The advice provided on flights to Scotland, car rentals, and other important planning advice is based on many years of actual experience.

This highly detailed and illustrated guide is 42 8-inch by 10-inch pages in length and provides all the information that a vacationer will need to plan a golfing trip to Scotland. It will save you far more than its cost of $20.00 and help to make your vacation to Scotland much more enjoyable, as well as saving you a significant amount of money that normally are spent on Tour Operators. This guide gives you the flexibility to plan your own itinerary and see the parts of Scotland that often are missed by Tours.
