Welcome,slartibartfast... looks like you sit almost on the coast, are your courses built near the ocean?

There are 4 golf courses over here. Two 18 hole courses and two 9 hole courses. One of the nine hole courses, called Island Grounds, sits next to the Marina Beach. It's a links course, so there's a lot of wind, sometimes touching 30-40 miles per hour. It plays like a typical British links course. Very challenging and unfriendly for a short-hitter.

The other three namely Cosmopolitan-TNGF Club, Madras Race Club and the Army Golf Course are inland but still get a fair amount of wind although not as much as the Island Grounds course.

    • I imagine there might be a fine, that's what the PGA Tour does for bad behavior.  Not sure if the USGA has any kind of Code of Conduct that would address this.
    • I've used this for planning, good information about courses, regions, transport, and lodging. Amazon.com  I prefer to stay in B&Bs, and have enjoyed playing many non-famous courses.  Hiring a car for many weeks is likely to be pretty expensive, but train travel is possible between regions.  I don't know about taxis for getting to courses, but that might be cheaper than hiring a car.  I certainly recommend staying in St Andrews for a while, there are 6 courses within the St Andrews Trust, and a shuttle will take you from one to the other, not including the Castle Course.  Beyond that, there are a dozen or more good courses within an hours drive, including Carnoustie and Kingsbarns and a bunch of lesser-known but fabulous courses.   Good luck, Scotland is a fabulous place!
    • I am looking to do a solo trip to Scotland, maybe 3 to 4 weeks, not golf every day but see some of the country in between. Looking more for convenience of travel to courses  than any particular courses. Any help on  best location, courses, accommodations appreciated.
