Majosta: A Week of Golfing Glory — 7 Championship Courses in Scotland

Embark on a Scottish golf pilgrimage

Scotland is widely regarded as the birthplace of golf, where tradition and landscape fuse into an unmistakable atmosphere. This Majosta guide recounts eight days of a dream trip centered on seven championship links: Turnberry with sweeping sea views, Prestwick with historic origins, Royal Troon and its seaside drama, Carnoustie with rugged tests, Gullane’s dunes and salty air, North Berwick’s coastal charm, Old St Andrews for timeless rhythm, and Kingsbarns’s rolling fairways. Each course carries a distinct mood — refined, brutal, or mischievous — and each invites you to respond to wind, turf, and sea spray in a way only links golf can evoke. The week promises more than rounds; it offers a sense of place that connects players to the game’s enduring spirit.

Inside you’ll find a carefully paced itinerary, course notes that highlight terrain features and common strategic choices, and practical advice for a week on the links.

The week invites you to unplug — no screens, just wind direction, the feel of turf, and conversations that unfold on the tee box. This is travel that blends scenery with focus, pace with memory, and rounds with stories you carry home.
