Golf tourism

As the internationally recognised home of golf there is vast potential for the sustainable development and growth of Scottish golf tourism. Through a range of projects, we are helping to strengthen industry leadership to encourage collaboration between the many different providers.

Golf Tourism Scotland

Since the launch of Golf Tourism Scotland in 2005, we have been helping this industry-led body build its capacity to assume the role of lead private sector body for Scottish golf tourism by:

  • Representing golf tourism and leading the development of overall strategy for the industry
  • Developing, co-ordinating and implementing a range of services that will benefit its members
  • Driving forward the golf tourism industry in Scotland
