Top Golf Tournaments in Scotland - 2015

We all know there are plenty of reasons to play golf in Scotland no matter what the month or year. But what makes 2015 special is the exciting tournaments coming to our shores.

So if you’re looking to combine your own golfing with watching the top players in action next year, here’s where you need to head to catch the biggies that everyone’s will be talking about.


Gullane Golf Club - Scottish Open - 9-12 July
Taking place in July, the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open is one of the leading events on the European Tour. With the world’s top golfers competing for prize money worth £2.5m, this is a great tournament to catch some competitive play.

This tournament takes place from 9-12 July on Course No. 1 and Course No. 2 at Gullane Golf Club in East Lothian. With a location not too far from either Edinburgh, Glasgow or even Newcastle, this is conveniently located to pop along to.


Torrance Course - Scottish Senior Open - August
The SSE Scottish Senior Open returns to Fairmont St Andrews Torrance Course and we should once again be in for a treat as some tour legends play for the quarter million pound prize. It’s stroke play played over three days in August with 72 professionals vying for the title.


Gleneagles - Johnnie Walker Championship - August
Already missing the action of The Ryder Cup? Well, the Johnnie Walker Championship is held each August at Gleneagles on the PGA Centenary Course so we’re back to the same course - let’s hope for the same kind of drama.

For four days, The Johnnie Walker Championship will return to Gleneagles after not being featured on the European Tour’s 2014 schedule due to the Ryder Cup, so when all the best players get there it should be so much fun!


Dundonald Links - The Ladies Scottish Open - 24-26 July
With the same sponsor as the men’s event, the Aberdeen Asset Management Ladies Scottish Open will this year be held on Ayrshire coasts Dundonald Links. In an interesting twist for a high level tournament, this even is pro-am. A great European Tour event in an area of great beauty. What more could you want?


The Old Course - The Open Championship - 12-19 July
Woo hoo - The Open Championship is back in St Andrews. I can’t quite believe it’s been five years since we last hosted it. Actually, 2005 seems like it was just a couple of years ago so don’t listen to me when it comes to how long ago things were!

Anyway, all the top players will be trying to win the Claret Jug on arguably the best golf course in the world. Or one of them at least.

Judging by all the drama we’ve had over the years, you won’t want to miss it!


Ailsa Course - Ricoh Women’s British Open - 30 July-2 August
Does anyone else miss the days when the ladies British Open was sponsored by Weetabix? I don’t know why but I do!

This is the only women’s major played in Europe and one of the tours’ five major tournaments so all the best female players will be in Scotland at the end of July. It returns to Scotland every 2 years and next year will be held at the Trump Turnberry Resort’s Ailsa Course.



So come to Scotland in 2015 - it's going to be awesome!
