While we generally recommend that
golfing groups, particularly first-time visitors to Scotland, opt
for a car or coach & driver, the self-drive option is often ideal
for parties of up to four golfers. Self-drive groups of more than
four golfers will require two or more vehicles to maintain maximum
comfort levels.
In choosing the self-drive option, we recommend that you consider
all the factors involved, including driving on the left hand side
of the road, directions and fatigue. We also advise a vehicle large
enough for your golfing needs.
A good range of self-drive vehicles are suitable for groups of various
sizes (from 2 to 4 golfers) and they are classified below. And while
some smaller vehicles are also available, these are not necessarily
recommended.
