The Home of Golf 

Scotland is considered as the home of golf because of its rich history associated with the origins and development of this prestigious sport. Golf originated in Scotland in the 15th century, although the roots of the game itself may go back even further. Old golf courses, such as the famous Old Course at St Andrews, have become the cradle of golf culture and tradition. Over the centuries, golf in Scotland has evolved, gained popularity and become not only a popular pastime but also a social phenomenon.
