Golfers to receive 20 percent discounts on ScotRail travel in new promotion

Scotland is fortunate enough to have some of the world's best golf courses dotted across the country.

And many keen players will no-doubt want to have a go on as many of the 550 courses in Scotland as they can. However, getting to golf courses outside of your local area can be a pricey endeavour.

To make things a little more accessible, ScotRail has partnered with 20 golf courses, and will be offering discounted rates to players who travel to these selected courses by train.

According to the rail service, golfers will receive a 20 percent discount off standard day green fees so long as they have a valid rail ticket for that day's travel or a Club 50 card.

Alasdair Smart, ScotRail Tourism Manager, said: "With the new golf season about to get underway, it's the time of the year when golfers are looking ahead and planning where they would most like to play, and with the home of golf on our doorstep, there’s no better place to play than in Scotland.

"Scotland has close to 100 courses within walking distance of the railway, and we’re delighted to have teamed with many of them to offer golfers a fantastic discount on their tee time when they travel by train.

"Whether you’re looking for a heathland or true links experience, James Braid or Old Tom Morris design, there’s a wealth of fantastic courses within a short walk from the station, allowing you to leave the car at home and enjoy a well-earned beverage after your round."
