August 2026:
"Our trip to Scotland exceeded our expectations. The organization, attention to detail, professionalism and creativity provided the most unique and first-class experience. Pure Golf Experience and Links Golf St Andrews anticipated our every need and delivered unanticipated enhancements such as a brass plaque with our scorecard from The Old Course. From Carnoustie to Kingsbarns to Dumbarnie Links as well as Crail – an old school, traditional Scottish links course – we were challenged by the courses and delighted by the countryside of Scotland."

"Many thanks for helping to set up a fabulous 7-courses-in-7-days golf trip to Ireland for me, my two sons and a brother. As with our trip to Scotland in 2018, you and Links Golf St Andrews provided the roadmap for a memorable tour of Southern Ireland golf. The courses were spectacular, especially Tralee, Ballybunion and Waterville. At Old Head, we were only able to get in 9 holes because of fog (apparently they don’t want golfers driving off cliffs into the Atlantic). From what we could see of it, though, it looked incredibly scenic. We had a great time in Killarney, where we stayed at the Killarney Royal Hotel. Centrally located for the courses in Southwest Ireland, it also was centrally located for a bustling bar and nightlife scene. Cheers for that choice! There were many memorable shots hit during the trip — both good and bad — but none more so than two struck by Ed Hannigan. On the first hole at Tralee, he holed out from 100 yards for eagle. Then, on the last hole at Tralee, after putting a ball OB, he holed out from 55 yards for par. Unfortunately, the luck of the Irish didn’t apply to the rest of us.Thanks again for all your help. We will get back to you when we choose our next destination."

"This is our second time traveling with Pure Golf Experience & Links Golf St Andrews and once again I’m not sure it would have been possible to have had a better trip. We had a fantastic time and every detail was managed perfectly. Links Golf staff member Leanne put together an unbeatable itinerary and Joe was incredibly helpful on the ground in St Andrews. I wish we were still there. Thank you for everything!"

"Thank you for a fantastic experience. My father and I loved the hotels (Turnberry’s view was unparalleled), the golf (hard to pick favorite among all the amazing courses), and the awesome service from the Links Golf St Andrews team. Thank you for making this experience so special."

"2nd Time to Scotland was Once Again Pure Bliss! ... Four years ago, I traveled to Scotland as a foursome and was serviced by Links Golf St Andrews and Pure Golf Experience … we stepped up our game and brought three foursomes this summer! Links Golf St Andrews and Pure Golf Experience did a fantastic job from tee to green! Every detail was perfect and the 12 of us had a marvelous time! These guys know how to treat their clients as VIPs! Five stars all the way"

"Pure Golf Experience and Links Golf St Andrews partnered to provide my son and me with the most amazing trip imaginable. They scheduled an incredible group of courses, arranged for terrific accommodations in each of the three places we stayed and were really flexible as Covid forced us to reset our plans multiple times. Scotland is the ultimate golfing destination and these guys take all the guesswork out of having the trip of a lifetime."
