Planning dog-friendly golf in Scotland
- For links courses, check whether dogs must stay on a lead because coastal paths, wildlife and shared public access may affect course rules.
- Fife, East Lothian, Ayrshire and the Highlands are strong areas to explore if you want golf with scenic walks nearby.
- Before making a special journey, confirm current visitor rules directly with the club, particularly for championship venues or courses with seasonal restrictions.
