Im in the same boat as the OP, flying from SFO to EDI next week with a layover at Dulles.

Ended up changing to an earlier flight to give a longer window in transit, fingers crossed.

 

8 courses in 10 days starting next friday....cant say how excited I am.

 

 

I envy you guys who can travel that far AND play that many rounds when you get there 😁Do me a favor cool cucumber and give us a follow up post on how everything went...flight in particular, but also courses you played and liked the most.

Hey bud, flight was good and we didnt face any issues anywhere. Out of the 11 we had one guy miss his clubs for 1 day and that happened in London.

 Here is the courses we played - Machrie, Troon, Turnberry, Carnoustie, Castle course , Kingsbarn, N Berwick & Muirfield. Very hard to say which was the best and which wasnt, I would say i could easily play all of these again.

 

From a golfing test i dont think there was any tougher than Carnoustie and troon followed by Muirfield, rest did have a resorty vibe to it. Every one was prettier than the other and i would have to really think out if have to vote my favs in order.

We had good weather (relatively speaking) on the days we played and no issues with our clubs getting there and back. Check another one off the bucket list (although we didn't get on the old course). Had a great time with my son. Before I do any more trips to Ireland or Scotland, or any other country, I'd like to hit some great courses in the U.S. Travel from California to Europe is a bit grueling for an old man with hemorrhoids and back issues 🤣. I want to thank everybody for taking the time to give me tips, thoughts or sharing your experiences. Really helpful and appreciated.
