Fully escorted. Fully managed. Luxuriously done

Six iconic Open Championship venues. Walking only, with caddies. Here's where you'll play:

Royal Birkdale | Southport, England Host of The 154th Open in 2026. Widely considered the finest course on the current Open rota. A stunning seaside links with a redesigned layout that will challenge and reward in equal measure.

Royal Liverpool (Hoylake) | Merseyside, England Hosted The 152nd Open in 2023. One of the toughest, most historically significant links in Britain. Home to the longest par 5 on the Open rota at 616 yards.

Royal Troon – Old Course | Ayrshire, Scotland Famous for the "Postage Stamp" — the shortest hole in Open Championship history. The inward nine is considered the most demanding stretch in all of championship golf.

Trump Turnberry – Ailsa Course | Ayrshire, Scotland Clifftop drama, Ailsa Craig in the distance, the iconic lighthouse at the turn. One of the most visually breathtaking courses in the world. You'll understand why the moment you arrive.

Carnoustie | Angus, Scotland Nicknamed "Carnastie" for a reason. The toughest examination on the Open rota, and one of the most respected tests in the game. This one earns its place on your résumé.

The Old Course, St Andrews | Fife, Scotland The Home of Golf. The walk across the Swilcan Bridge. The Road Hole. The Valley of Sin. This is the one every golfer dreams about. And it's guaranteed.

You are not sitting this one out. While the golfers are on the course, you'll be out exploring some of the most culturally rich destinations in Britain.

Liverpool – The Albert Dock, the Beatles Story, Merseyside Maritime Museum, the Tate Gallery, and stunning architecture at every turn.

Chester – One of the finest heritage cities in the world. The most complete Roman city walls in Britain, a thousand-year-old cathedral, and charming half-timbered streets.

Dumfries House – A stunning Scottish stately home saved by King Charles III, filled with original Thomas Chippendale furniture and Robert Adam architecture.

Culzean Castle – A clifftop castle with panoramic views over the Firth of Clyde. Robert Adam's final interior masterpiece. Once gifted to General Eisenhower as a thank-you from Scotland.

Glamis Castle – The childhood home of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother and birthplace of Princess Margaret. The legendary setting of Shakespeare's Macbeth.

The East Neuk of Fife – A tour of Scotland's prettiest coastal villages: Pittenweem, Anstruther, and Crail. Ancient harbors, sea caves, and fresh coastal air.

Hope Street Hotel | Liverpool, England A boutique gem in the heart of one of Britain's most vibrant cities. Your Welcome Dinner takes place in the elegant Old Bookroom — floor-to-ceiling windows, original brickwork, intimate atmosphere.

Trump Turnberry Resort | Ayrshire, Scotland One of Scotland's national treasures. Iconic. Grand. Perched on the Ayrshire coast with sweeping views across the Irish Sea. Deluxe room accommodations included.
