An Unforgettable Golf Trip to Scotland – Scottish Golf Experience Delivers Perfection If you love golf, Scotland is the ultimate bucket-list destination. And if you’re heading to Scotland, do yourself a favor and book with Kevin at Scottish Golf Experience. From the moment we arrived, Kevin and Shaun made our entire trip feel effortless and world-class. These two are absolute gems — longtime caddies at St. Andrews with deep knowledge of every course, but more importantly, they’re genuinely warm, hilarious, and fantastic company. They were always punctual, incredibly helpful, and went out of their way to make sure every detail was perfect. Our group consisted of my two older brothers, my dad, and me — four golf-loving brothers who had been dreaming about this trip for three years. None of us are scratch golfers, but we play every year and love the game. This trip was on another level. It all started during a rain delay back home when we saw a commercial for St. Andrews on the clubhouse TV. What began as a “wouldn’t it be cool” conversation turned into reality thanks to my oldest brother, who spent weeks researching options and ultimately chose Scottish Golf Experience. Best decision he ever made. We were picked up right on time and taken to our beautiful Golf Cottage right on North Street — just a couple of blocks from the Old Course and walking distance to everything: pubs, shops, and restaurants. The location was ideal. We also highly recommend the evening tour with the Kilted Caddie (Keith McLaren) — it was one of the highlights of the trip and a fantastic way to learn about the history and culture of the area. The golf itself was spectacular. We played five outstanding courses: Jubilee, Crail, Kingsbarns, the New Course, and Dumbarnie (my personal favorite). Each course treated us like royalty, the conditions were pristine, the views were breathtaking, and the challenges were pure joy. The entire experience — from the history and atmosphere to the kindness of the Scottish people — left a lasting impression that none of us will ever forget. We’ll definitely be back, and when we do, we won’t even think twice — we’ll be booking with Kevin and Shaun at Scottish Golf Experience again. If you’re thinking about making the trip, stop thinking and book it. You will not regret it.

Kevin was an amazing host for our Scotland trip this July-2025. He is honest, patient, flexible, and was always on time. Our group of four played 5 courses in 6 days including the Old Course without any issues! Kevin even assisted us securing tickets to a Scottish Premier League Football match at the last minute. We cannot thank him and Jeannette enough for their hard work. It was a trip of a lifetime and we now consider Kevin a friend! Thank you, Mark - Buford, Georgia

I had the great pleasure to work with Kevin Fogarty and his company, Scottish Golf Experience, to plan a 9 day golf trip to St. Andrews, Scotland for May, 2026 for our foursome. For those that are looking for a company that is experienced and connected to ensure that your "bucket list" golf trip meets all expectations, Kevin is your guy. For those who also want the personal touch and hands on management and interaction, Kevin is also that guy. For those that are looking to have everything planned and in place well in advance, Kevin is that guy, too. AND, if you are looking for someone who will readily go over and above if required to make changes and adjustments on the fly when other opportunities present themselves, he's that guy, too. Our entire trip, from the airport arrival to airport departure nine days later, went as smoothly and enjoyable as possible. Never a hiccup, always YES, always on time like a precision clock, and always professional and courteous in all aspects. He, along with his capable sidekick Shaun, made our trip exceed our collective expectations by a longshot. And we're no pushovers or passive people - LOL! I HIGHLY recommend Kevin Fogarty and Scottish Golf Experience to any and all groups, big or small. What a pleasure it was to be under his wing. Paul Wiseman, Ottawa, Canada

We just finished an 8 day trip to Scotland with a golf foursome from Canada and our experience with Scottish Golf Experience could not have been better! From the pre trip planning and communication to the pick up at the airport, daily assistance and transportation, and the actual golf rounds and tours - everything was perfect and seamless. Both Kevin and Shaun were not only friendly, attentive and accommodating, but also made us feel like we were their only clients that week. Would use them again without hesitation and will recommend to others! A trip of a life time. Thanks guys!

Just back home from first golf trip to Scotland with three great friends. Kevin and Shaun were exceptional hosts and could not do enough for us, these guys are on point in every way. They made sure that our experience was surely a great golf life memory. We played the best of the best golf courses that Scotland has to offer ending with Dumbarnie and Kingsbarns, crazy good! Two nicer gentleman you will not meet. I highly recommend these two lads you won’t be disappointed.

Where do I start!!! If you've stumbled across Scottish Golf Experience LOOK NO FURTHER! You have found the best, most affordable, and most flexible purveyor of Scottish golf experiences on the planet! Kevin, Shaun, and Keith (the Kilted Caddie) made our golf trip memorable, comfortable, affordable, comprehensive, and enjoyable - from the moment we were picked up at the Edinburgh airport to the final pictures on the Swilcan Bridge our trip was perfect! Kevin was accessible and responsive from our first email exchange to our final "goodbye" - he went above and beyond to guarantee our group of 8 golfers had an informative and entertaining 6 days of golf, food, drinks, and memories. We played Gleneagles Kings, Crail Balcomie, Kingsbarn, Carnoustie Championship, and St. Andrews Jubilee - and it only rained on 4 of those 90 holes! Temps in early May were comfortable, and the overall weather was 99 on a scale of 1-100 (not that Kevin had anything to do with that, but it wouldn't surprise me if he did!). Shaun was an added bonus as he assisted our group along the way - and Keith the Kilted Caddie provided an EXCELLENT day 1 tour of St. Andrews over drinks, appetizers, cigars, dinner, and gelato - a perfect way to get comfortable in St. Andrews and relax from the flight. The next five days of golf were superb and Kevin, Shaun, and Keith each filled an open spot in our group when one of our guys had to return home due to a personal emergency. This is one of those cases of "Don't even try to duplicate the trip because it will fall short" experiences - and all props and thanks go to Kevin and his team! Don't wait - reach out to Kevin NOW and start planning your Scottish golf trip of a lifetime!

Kevin and Shaun were excellent hosts and provided an incredible experience as well as above and beyond service and support. I actually experienced a family emergency during our trip and they dropped everything to make sure I had proper transportation and assistance in getting back to my family in a time of need. It was a truly personal experience and one that I will never forget. Hope to be able to book with them again in the future. Highly recommend.

Kevin and Shaun did an exceptional job of making our trip as easy and stress free as possible. The schedule they provided allowed us plenty of time to explore the historic areas around us yet get to the courses at correct times. Everything they did from course selection with appropriate transportation to personal interaction was top shelf. Cannot recommend this trip and their company enough. Thank you fellas for a very memorable experience.

Kevin and Shaun are top lads - we had an awesome trip. Made it so easy on us from pick-up to drop-off, and minimized the blast radius of some travel troubles for a portion of our group. When we come back we will forsure use Scottish Golf Experience.

Kevin planned a great trip! We had some flight issues and he moved some tee times around at short notice. The hotels and transportation were excellent. Can't wait to go back!

Thanks Matt, we really appreciate the review! It was a pleasure working with you as the lead golfer and helping bring the trip together for the group. We’re so glad everyone enjoyed it, despite the initial flight issues for the rest of the lads. It was great to have the chance to adjust things where needed, keep the golf moving smoothly, and make sure the trip stayed on track. Hopefully we see you all again soon! Cheers, Kevin & Shaun 🏌️‍♂️⛳

Kevin and team are top notch. We had a fantastic trip. He helped us select courses, restaurants, manage changes over the course of a year. The courses fit our requests wonderfully. Everything was clearly scheduled and we knew exactly where and when to be with shuttles arranged for everything. Communication was excellent. Kevin made everything seamless. Everyone will remember this trip forever.

Thank you very much, Ben. That is incredibly kind of you to say.

From the very first conversation, it was clear this trip meant a lot to the group, so I am delighted to hear it lived up to expectations and gave everyone memories that will last a lifetime. Putting these trips together always takes a lot of moving parts over many months, so it is especially rewarding to hear that everything felt smooth and well organised once you were here.

It was also great to spend time with you at Kingsbarns. I really enjoyed your company, and it was a pleasure to be part of such a special trip for the group.

Thank you again for trusting us with it all.

Kevin Fogarty arranged an unforgettable golf experience that covered the Old Course, New Course, Jubilee, Carnoustie, Dumbarnie, and Kingsbarns. We got onto the Old Course through the lottery. Lucked out with weather in April. No rain. Kevin had lodging arranged at Rusacks, which is a prime location. He also set up dinner reservations and transportation. He and his staff were attentive to changes in our schedules. I highly recommend Scottish Golf Experience and Kevin Fogarty, its proprietor. One of our group was unable to make it at last minute and cost was understandably not refundable. Suggest travel insurance just in case.

Thank you very much, John. I really appreciate the recommendation and your thoughtful review.

It was a pleasure to help put the trip together for this group, and I am delighted to hear it was such a memorable experience. You certainly had a wonderful run with the weather, and getting onto the Old Course through the ballot was a brilliant bonus.

Thank you as well for mentioning the travel insurance point. It is never something anyone wants to think about, but it can be so important when the unexpected happens.

I really appreciate your kind words, and I hope to see you back in Scotland again one day!

What a great experience! Scottish Golf Experience (Kevin) had everything set up for us. With great venues. It was very nice to have all the rides and tee times set up for us. nothing to worry about. And at top notch venues. Also had some last minute changes that we had to make, and they accommodated us so very nicely. Way to go of wanting to experience Scotland Golf and St. Andrews. Thank you, SGE!

Thank you very much, Tony. I really appreciate you taking the time to leave such a kind review.

I am so pleased to hear you enjoyed the trip and that everything came together well, especially with a few changes along the way. We always do our best to keep things running smoothly behind the scenes so the group can simply relax and enjoy the experience.

It was also a real pleasure playing Kingsbarns with you, and I am very glad the birthday cake went down well at dinner. It was nice to be able to play a small part in making the occasion a memorable one.

Many thanks again, Tony, and I hope we see you back over here again before too long.

The experience wrapped in one word, Excellence. Kevin is a hands-on coordinator who went out of his way, to ensure our 5 rounds were bucket list worthy. Every detail was accommodated, communication was responsive and clear. All his planning, provided us a fantastic Scottish experience for the entirety of our visit. 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ earned. In addition to being service first, the price point was more reasonable than other providers. Highly recommend. -Brian Cleveland Ohio USA

Brian, apologies for the late reply, but I still remember your group very fondly, especially the trip through to Tanadice to see Dundee United.

A huge thank you to you, and also to Mark, Jeremy and Jim, for taking the time to leave such kind reviews. It really does mean a lot.

I am delighted to hear the trip delivered everything you were hoping for. We always try to make sure every detail is taken care of so the group can simply enjoy the experience, so it is great to know that came across.

Thanks again, Brian. Your kind words and recommendation are very much appreciated.

We had a great St Andrews golf trip with Kevin from Scottish Golf Experience. He planned 5 rounds in 6 days (including the Old Course) for our group. Kevin provided for everything we needed including transfers to and from the courses and other activities we arranged with him. I especially enjoyed the Kilted Caddie tour with Keith. The evening was filled with fun conversation as we walked the town and ate some delicious food. Kevin understood how much this trip meant to us and made sure our trip was the experience of a lifetime. Kevin beat our expectations for service and communication and I would not hesitate to reach out to him again for another trip.

As a bucket list item for over 20 years, our Scotland golf trip literally could not have been any better. Kevin's planning, communication, responsiveness, rapport and overall execution was a 10 out of 10. He went out of his way numerous times to ensure we were having the trip of a lifetime, including securing last minute Dundee United tickets one evening. His relationships with the courses and the St. Andrews caddies took our experience to the next level. He also set up a Kilted Caddie tour with Keith which was an unexpected highlight - great drinks, great food and great company. If you are planning a Scottish golf trip, contact Kevin!
