The origins of Golf are widely debated, from Roman times, to a Chinese game to a French game or even a game in the Netherlands. However most agree on the widely known account that the modern game of golf came from St Andrews in Scotland, where Shepherds started knocking stones into rabbit holes. Park Golf Course originated from the sandy dunes of St Andrews into the grassy, and tree lined courses that we know today.

Park golf courses offer great natural beauty, and often breathtaking views.
Park Golf Course makes the most of the natural hills, trees and surroundings to strategically place the greens and challenge golfers from all over to navigate from tee to hole by avoiding the beautiful trees and hazards such as sand bunkers or natural ponds or lakes.
The natural meanderings of the Park Golf Course provide a remarkably different change to those courses on the coast.

The links course is as the game would have originally been played at St Andrews in Fife, as obstacles such as earth moving had to be done by hand, and was rather expensive. Therefore the landscape on links courses is relatively as they were found. The nature of the courses can make it difficult such as long thick grass and uneven fairways as well as the deep sand traps. These courses are often very windy and suits a certain type of play - low and accurate shots

The Park Lands Golf Course can often have very tricky hazards to manoeuvre around. Many say that it is not often the depth of the bunkers that prove hard, but the placement of the bunker itself. It can be sat just waiting for the ball to fall into it directly. There is often much thick heather and gorse to navigate around.

There is also usually a great variety of tree species surrounding the Park Golf Course which results in outstanding variation of the scenery and provides interesting landscape to see whilst on a round of golf. Depending on the area it can often be that one can spot the odd deer or pheasant whilst on a round.
With such attractive Park Golf Course why not bring the family? You can take in a round of golf, while the family enjoy the features of the country house or hotel, until you come back for a spot of lunch and a drink with the family and friends you have just played with.

There are several courses which have played host to several competitions and professional games. Why not try and beat their score round the course with your friends. But book quickly to ensure that you can reserve hotel/guest accommodation if you are arriving in high season.
In many golf clubs, there are several different courses to choose from, for example Glen Eagles and The Blairgowrie in Scotland. The 9 hole courses can be used as a warm up for the 18 hole rounds of Golf if you care. These courses often offer vast views of the hills and mountains of Scotland.
The Glen Eagles PGA Centenary Course will be used as the host venue for the 2014 Ryder Cup Matches, so you can get practising on the course before the professionals take over. You never know, you may beat them at their own game if you practise enough!
Don't forget that even though St Andrews and Scotland is the 'home' of golf there are many other Park Golf Courses around the UK that have fantastic courses, views, and facilities. Although it will be hard to beat the views and scenery of the Scottish mountains and hills, there are definitely challengers throughout the UK.
