Are Scottish golf clubs exclusive and formal?
Clubs run the gamut in terms of formality but you’d be surprised at how casual some are, especially the courses at St. Andrews and in the Highlands. Royal Troon and Muirfield have somewhat high-falutin’ reps, but many of the Scotland’s best-loved and most historic courses, including Royal Dornoch and Prestwick, are exceedingly open and welcoming. Just about every club however does expect you to take your cap off when you’re in the clubhouse.
