As an ardent golfer I have played a number of courses in Scotland. Some of the most interesting courses are those call dunes courses along the coast. Unlike the typical courses in Canada and the U.S., dunes courses seldom have any trees and tend to follow the natural contours of the land. Sand bunkers occur naturally and many are quite deep. Wind is also a hazard that has to be allowed for and the greens are naturally rolling and not like the neatly manicured greens in North America, so putting requires careful reading of the break.
Golf in Scotland is not only a fair weather game and a bit of rain doesn't bother the Scots, who wear rain gear and keep a dry towel around their neck to dry their hands. Having lived much of my life in Vancouver, rain never stopped us from playing, so Scotland made me feel right at home.
