Scotland does not do all inclusive the way the Mediterranean does, but its great resorts do something better: stay and play packages that bundle the room, the golf and the dining at the home of the game. Gleneagles, Turnberry and Fairmont St Andrews, all settled before you arrive.
Be clear on one thing up front: Scotland does not run the ultra all inclusive resort model of Belek or the Costa del Sol, where every meal and drink is poured into one wristband price. What it offers instead is the stay and play package, where a five star resort bundles your room, your rounds and your dining into a single arranged break, so the golf and the logistics are sorted before you land. For the Scottish weather and the quality of the courses, that is the version of all in that actually makes sense.
It suits couples and buddies groups who want the comfort of a resort base rather than a links tour by car, milestone trips that want the golf to be effortless, and corporate days that need everything handled. The headline resorts are full destinations in their own right, with spas, fine dining and a marquee course on site, so you can settle into one place and let the round, the table and the tee time all arrive on schedule.
Green fees below are indicative for the 2026 season and always confirm directly before booking, though on a stay and play package the rounds are usually reserved and bundled rather than paid course by course.
The grande dame of Perthshire, with the Jack Nicklaus PGA Centenary Course that hosted the 2014 Ryder Cup, plus the classic James Braid King's and Queen's courses, a spa and a country estate around them.

Prefer a longer trip? A seven night package layers a second resort or a full links tour onto the stay and play base. We can also split the week between two resorts.

| Trip shape | Nights | Indicative per person |
|---|---|---|

| Five star resort week, four rounds plus a links day | 5 | ~$2,500 to 4,000 |
| Marquee links and luxury resort week | 7 | ~$4,000 to 6,500 |
Ranges depend on resort, room, board, courses and group size. We cost your exact itinerary to the head before you commit.
Play from May to September for the warmest, longest days and the firmest courses, when the famous links are at their best. Spring and early autumn are quieter and better value, with the resorts running stay and play packages year round and winter rates the lowest, though daylight is short and the weather raw. In peak summer the marquee courses and the best resort rooms book up months ahead, so reserve early.
