About Scotland and The Trip

Background

In 2010, 201 members of ASGA visited Scotland. We heard from Gleneagles Resort that we had the largest number of Americans to ever play the courses at that resort in a single day.
 
Four years later, in 2014, 97 ASGA members visited Scotland again.  Nine years have passed and we are now due for our third trip to this beautiful country.
 
The Kingdom of Scotland emerged as an independent sovereign state in the European Early Middle Ages and continued to exist until 1707. By inheritance in 1603, King James VI of Scotland became King of England and Ireland, thus forming a personal union of the three kingdoms. Scotland subsequently entered into a political union with England on May 1, 1707 to create the new Kingdom of Great Britain. (Thank you Wikipedia) 
 
This trip includes - see green links at the left for details:
 
  • 4 nights in St. Andrews at the beautiful Fairmont Hotel
  • 4 nights in Edinburgh at the Radisson Blu on High Street (Royal Mile)
  • Golf at the Kittocks Course in St. Andrews (on the Fairmont Hotel property)

  • Welcome dinner at the Fairmont plus six (6) additional dinners. You're on your own one night in St. Andrews. NOTE: Three dinners during the week will be at the golf course clubhouses. If you are doing a non-golf package, you have a special rate indicating no golf and no dinners at the clubhouses. That reduces your package price by $1230, so please be sure to check the correct package when registering. At our first round on the hotel property (Kittocks Course), you will have dinner with the group.
  • A full, hot Scottish breakfast each morning, yes, haggis, neeps and tatties!
  • Group transportation to all venues, including luggage truck for clubs & luggage
  • Excursion activities visiting, for example, Scone Palace, Glamis Castle, the Famous Grouse and Stirling Castle. We may visit all or just a couple, depending on attendee count.

Please check back to this website on a regular basis to review any changes. We will not be sending emails each time there is a minor change. At any time there could be special notices or updates about this event. That info will be posted under the "Emails/Updates" link on the left side of this page.

Before You Travel . . . Before You Sign-Up . . .

There are always risks involved with travel, both in the U. S. and internationally.  This website is about our group traveling to Scotland in August, 2023. Some attendees may wish to extend their trip, adding days before or after.  In any case, we ask that you visit http://travel.state.gov and specifically the United Kingdom prior to making plans or departing.  You must have a current passport in order to enter the UK. Your passport should have an expiration date of six (6) months or more after this event is over. At the .gov site above, you'll see information about pre-trip planning and other very important items.

The American Singles Golf Association (ASGA) is known for its top quality international trips.  For most members, these are a trip of a lifetime and as such, we don't cut corners. You'll be staying at top level hotels and play some of the top courses and have some great meals and make friends that may become lifelong friends.

HOTEL ROOMS & ROOMMATES:  You can register at any time, however, when we fill-up our block of rooms, we may not be able to get additional rooms because the public will be reserving rooms as well. So please don't assume you can wait until the last minute to register. Due to demand, on our last two trips to Scotland, we had to negotiate additional rooms on both trips in order to register all our members. Demand is up and we're in Scotland's prime season for golf. Register right away and if you know you'll have a roommate, it helps if both of you register around the same day.  IMPORTANT NOTE:  If you're the last person to register and you're looking for a roommate and we don't have a roommate for you, you may have to pay the "room-by-myself" package, so REGISTER EARLY to keep from being the last to register!

WORTH CHECKING INTO:  Rick Steves' Travel Tips

Who's Coming:  The "Who's Coming" page on this website will be updated periodically as members sign-up and pay in full for this trip. If you don't want your name listed, please let us know by emailing info@SinglesGolf.com.

Based on our past history of international travel with this size group, 60% roomed by themselves and 40% of our attendees had a roommate. So when we reserve rooms for this trip, we use that formula so the hotel knows to provide an ample number of rooms with two beds and rooms with king/queen beds. Under our group contract with the hotel we'll utilize, we have what are called "ROH" or "Run of House" rooms which means the hotel can put our attendees in any of their rooms in the hotel.  We do that to get our best rates which hopefully gets our best attendance. 

Airfare is NOT INCLUDED in any package.  See the "Getting There" tab at left for sample airline rates.

Members Only - You must be a member at the time of the event in August to attend.

Our Second Hotel (August 23-27): The Radisson Blu in Edinburgh   

(CLICK HERE FOR HOTEL WEBSITE)

Edinburgh is Scotland's captivating capital city and its character and charm has drawn visitors to its ancient streets for years. The city has strong royal connections and is a delightful treasure trove for history buffs and culture vultures. Over the summer months it's a joy to explore the streets and parks and see the talented comedians, actors, musicians and poets filling the city with laughter and anticipation.

Packed with history, lively nightlife and wonderful shops, welcoming Edinburgh has it all. You'll stay in the city center just a 3-wood from Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood Palace and the Scotch Whisky Experience, not to mention great shopping on Princes Street. A trip to Edinburgh always ends too soon.

Also, you're receive a ticket to tour Edinburgh Castle during one of your four days in Edinburgh.

Golf

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

The four courses we will play over our 9-day visit visit are:

 

The Kittocks Course on property at The Fairmont in St. Andrews

The Duke's Course - St. Andrews

(Duke's Webcam) - Click on large photo to see live webcam.

The Glen Golf Club

Longniddry Golf Club

 

Golf Play Format:  We'll play USGA Rules of Golf (play your own ball, not someone else's!).

Prizes.  Although we're not on this trip to win prizes or prize money and even though we want to play real golf by the real rules (USGA), we will not have team or prizes based on handicaps. On some courses, we will have proximity (closest-to-pin) competitions for both men and women.  The prizes will be given out at various times we gather as a group throughout our stay or may be given out at the final dinner we have. The prizes will be our $25.00 prize certificates good towards upcoming events, towards your annual membership dues or an ASGA logo'd golf shirt. These prizes are non-transferable.  

Caddies and Golf Carts.  Caddies are plentiful in Scotland. Golf carts are not. However, our four courses will all have motorized golf carts, may two or three! Due to a lack of golf carts, we will not have shotgun starts other than the course at The Fairmont, who has plenty of "motorized buggies."

A couple of other things to consider regarding caddies: At a European event years ago, ASGA coordinated getting caddies for players who wanted them. On the day of play, only 75% of the caddies showed-up, leaving some members not the happiest.  So we no longer get involved in doing this for you.  At some point, we will post contact information on how to reserve a caddie and you can make arrangements for yourself, in writing, via email. Please notify Tom@SinglesGolf.com if you believe you'd like to hire a caddie on some or all days and will it be a caddie for just you alone or for your foursome (fore-caddie). 

Regarding fore-caddies, the issue here is that you would need to have everyone in your foursome agree to pay their share of the fore-caddie cost.  In past years, one person paid it but did not get reimbursed by others.  The best scenario is to arrange a fore-caddie once you've met your playing partners at the event (the day before) and then call ahead to the course to arrange for the fore-caddie.  This way, everyone can pay their 25% share of the fore-caddie cost.

Golf Club Movement.  At present, we have arranged for the motorcoach company to carry your clubs to the courses in the storage area under the coach. You will need to stay with your clubs to make sure they are loaded and unloaded at each movement.

You will be asked to bring your golf clubs after your round to the transportation truck or motor coach where personnel will load your clubs. Please do not leave your clubs on your cart at the end of each round.  In the end, every member is responsible for the safe-keeping of their own equipment. ASGA is not responsible for lost or stolen luggage, golf equipment, personal items, etc.  Make sure you do not leave valuables, memorabilia, etc. in your golf bag and make sure you understand where your clubs will be returned to if you are renting clubs.

Saturday, August 19 - (Night 1 at the Fairmont Hotel in St. Andrews) - You arrive in Edinburgh today and head to the area where taxis, Uber and/or Lyft can take you to the Fairmont in St. Andrews, about 80-minutes away. Because our attendees will arrive in Edinburgh at a variety of times from 5am to 3pm, you'll have to arrange your own transportation to the Fairmont Hotel. ASGA will try to accommodate small group transportation in the instance 4 or more members arrive around the same time to share cost of getting to the Fairmont in St. Andrews which is about an 80 minute drive from the airport.

Depending on how busy the hotel was the previous night and how early you arrive at the hotel, you may have to wait several hours for your room to be ready. Ask if the front desk will notify you via your smart phone and when your room is ready, you'll want to catch-up on some sleep.

ASGA registration will be in the lobby from 4-5pm so please let us know you made it and check in. We'll then gather at 5:00pm downstairs at the hotel for drinks (cash bar), followed by Dinner #1.
