One of the famous ones- St. Andrews? Carnoustie? Turnberry? Gleneagles? Royal Troon? Or is there a less well known course that you like better?

Thankyou very much for all your answers - all great suggestions.
chrisviolet4011 - I completely agree with you. I think its an absolute disgrace in this day and age that women are still barred from some golf courses, when the likes of Annika Sorentstem, Karrie Webb, Lorena Ochoa, e.t.c are among the worlds greatest golfers. A ridiculous situation that is certainly not good for the game. Unfortunately, however, you didn't really answer my question.

First I have to say that I absolutely love playing golf in Scotland. I have played in a number of other countries including the USA, but golf in Scotland is just second to none.
There is this wonderful little course at Boat of Garten which I really like. It is fairly short, but has quite a challenging degree of difficulty. A very hilly course which can play relatively easily or very difficult depending on the weather. I would certainly include it among my favourites.
Best of all though has to be the Old Course at St. Andrews. Truley the home of golf. Its a fairly easy course by todays standards, but again can be made many times more difficult by the weather and conditions. When the greens are dry and fast putting can be a nightmare. Above all though the atmosphere and history of the place is just overwhelming. I absolutley love it.

As great as the Old Course is, I really like the Jubilee Course at St. Andrews. Some absolutely wonderful holes and a bit tougher than the Old. Remember, St Andrews is actrually six course, all within the St. Andrews Trust.
Cruden Bay is amazing, too. Lots of odd holes. Brora should not be missed, either.
Don't ignore the plethora of 9 hole gems in Scotland, either. Harris Golf Course in the Hebrides, Gairlock, Ansthruther are all lots of fun.

I suppose the old course at St Andrews has to be almost like golf heaven, it is so well known. There are some really great courses in Scotland tho for sure.
But St Andrews has so many memories.

Anywhere where people without dangly bits are welcome. Hate to ruin a great trip, but, think I'd just have to cause a scene if I wasn't welcomed because of my gender.
