Founded: 1735
Royal Burgess Golfing Society, founded in 1735, is the oldest golfing society in the world, boasting nearly three centuries of rich history and tradition. Located in Barnton, Edinburgh, this prestigious club has long been a cornerstone of Scottish golf, attracting players from around the world. The course, originally designed by Old Tom Morris and later refined by renowned architects such as James Braid and Philip Mackenzie Ross, offers a challenging yet enjoyable test for golfers of all levels. Its beautifully maintained parkland layout features strategic bunkering, undulating fairways, and fast, true greens. With a welcoming clubhouse steeped in tradition, Royal Burgess continues to uphold the spirit and camaraderie of the game while providing an exceptional golfing experience in Scotland’s capital.
John and Nicola were perfect hosts. They took care of everything and it made our trip unforgettable. Their attention to detail is incredible and everything went smoothly. We had a guaranteed tee time for the Old Course which was the centerpiece of the trip. And they were very fun and nice people to be around. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a Scottish golf vacation.

Read moreI could not imagine a better managed golf trip - everything was first class... from the transportation to the lodging to the dining. John and Nikola were an absolute joy to coordinate with. John is a knowledgeable and hilarious tour guide - our group really enjoyed his company. John was attentive, punctual, and high energy. I can't recommend ProScot enough and I hope to use their services again in the future.

Longer answer: We recommend ProScot to everyone planning a UK/Ireland golf trip. We had three golf days over four nights in St Andrews. ProScot reserved a perfect short-term rental (all the amenities, perfect location, surprisingly low price), and secured tee times at the St Andrews Old, New, and Castle courses.
Nicola waited at Edinburgh airport for our delayed arriving flight, and drove us to St Andrews in ProScot's luxury van, with water and snacks. And even though our apartment was about a 9-iron from the First Tee, Nicola picked us up each day, took us to the practice facility and first tee box, and primed us with water and snack bars.
On the day we miscalculated the proper caddy gratuity and realized, on the first tee, that we were short on currency, Nicola raced to an ATM and sorted us out -- no questions, no fuss. Just fixing whatever needs fixing, with grace, and no stress.
When we played the Castle Course, our driver -- John -- regaled us with stories that only PGA Professionals possess, then gave us a couple incredibly useful tips at the practice facility.
After the trip we thought we had missed, or owed, an additional payment to ProScot. Nope. We had paid in full what they charged. Best value ever.
Thank you ProScott Golf Tours for an amazing time in Scotland! Five historic courses in six days including Carnoustie and the Old Course. If you are going to go to Golf’s holy land, go with a local that knows golf. Prompt, professional, informative, flexible and above all fun to be with, Nicola and John really take care of you like family. They have pre-thought about everything for your convenience, comfort and enjoyment! You are taken care of from landing to takeoff. Thank you ProScott GOLF Tours.
