Allan really knows his stuff! August 27, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have two editions of this book and Allan helped me plan two trips to Scotland. The two trips Allan planned included some of the name courses in his book and some of the lesser knowns in his book and they were the best golf vacations I have taken. Better golf at lower cost than the the tours. The course descriptions are accurate and I found a lot of great golf at reasonable prices. You can use this book to plan your own excursion and save big bucks over the guided tours, meet some really nice folks along the way, and play some of the best golf available. Simply, it is well worth the small cost. PS- at most places plan to carry your clubs or pull a cart so a lightweight carry bag is a good idea.

The Essential Book for a self-planned golf trip to Scotland December 15, 2005
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
First off, let me say that the 1st and second editions of this book garnered 29 5 star reviews (all the reviews were 5 stars). Allan's book makes it so easy to book your own golf trip and save a ton of money. We just finished using the book to set up a trip for August of 2006. This is our second trip and hit alot of the "trophy" courses the first time around. We'll be playing Machrihanish twice, Royal Dornach, Nairn, Royal Aberdeen, Murfield twice, St. Andrews Old and Jubilee, Crail, and Carnoustie , renting a VW Caravelle van, and staying at some great B&B's. I had two tour operators quote me on the same trip and they each wanted at least $1000 more per person over what it will cost us to book ourselves...so Allan's book is saving us $4000. Allan's reviews of courses and lodging are spot on.
Great for 1st time visitors to Scotland August 15, 2005
I really learned a lot from this book. It really helped me select the courses I wanted to play and plan my trip to take in non-golfing activities.
Great book. Get it before you make your travel arrangements July 19, 2005

I gave this book to my Dad a week before we left for Scotland. He loved it. It has very practical things that can save you great amounts of time and money. I wish we had gotten it sooner though and it would have been more useful. From making rental car reservations to who to ask to help you set up your golf. Great book.
