Luton Who?


Had the pleasure of visiting Luton Hoo with Mrs GolfTraveBlog.... excellent hotel, taken an old fashioned building, renovated it and kept its traditional values (very good afternoon tea!!!!)

I played the golf course......mmmmmm not sure.....

Apparently English Heritage interferred significantly. No Bunkers as it "would detract from the natural habitat" - I ask you.....

Still a good venue for corporate golf days

Scotland, bonny Scotland



Took a trip to Scotland to visit Paul Lawrie, and we chatted a few things through. We then took a drive down the coast to Carnoustie, I had a meeting with the team at the Carnoustie golf hotel, and then got to play the Championship course, it was under winter protection but what an AWESOME course it is and I made 3 down 18........




The we drove to the Gleneagles Hotel, expensive and a tad pretencious, but absolutely stunning, for corporate golf days and events its a must..... a couple of days later we played the Kings Course, which was excellent but it blew a gale. 2 Birdies were a pretty good return for the day and took the money!!




In between this we visited Devere Cameron House, it has to be one of the best Hotels I have visited. Great service, location and views to die for across Loch Lomond.




The golf course is the Carrick

Its a great golf course and the whole resort is a must for your golf break in scotland

some terrific holes, very playabale and fantastic service
