Kingsbarns Golf Links ....... July 10: London • St Andrews, Scotland This morning, we fly from London City Airport to Edinburgh, Scotland and transfer to St Andrews, where we check in to the five-star Old Course Hotel this afternoon. Golf: The New Course at St Andrews This challenging links course designed by Old Tom Morris, nestled between the Jubilee Course and its more famous neighbor, offers a wonderful introduction to links golf. The prevailing wind guards the outward loop, particularly on the seaside par three 9th. The New Course is an ideal companion and practice round to The Old Course as it traces a similar route, but with more exposure to the sea. Tour: Edinburgh Before transferring to St Andrews, touring guests explore Edinburgh, the royal and ancient capital of Scotland, where old and new strike an ideal balance for a wonderful day of discovery. We tour the cobbled streets of the Royal Mile in the heart of medieval Old Town up to Edinburgh Castle, the impressive home to the Scottish crown jewels. Overnight: The Old Course Hotel ....... July 11: St Andrews Golf: Kingsbarns Golf Links One of the youngest courses to be ranked among the top 100 in the world, Kingsbarns has absorbed the six centuries of golf history that surround this links course. Golfers have sea vistas from nearly every hole as they play what is widely considered to be the most beautiful course in St Andrews. Tour: St Andrews & Kingsbarns Distillery We take a guided walking tour to view St Andrews’ highlights, including its prestigious university and 12th century cathedral. History and a sense of place are strongly conveyed by the cobbled alleys and crooked house fronts of this picturesque village. Afterwards, we visit the Kingsbarns Distillery for a tour and lunch.

The Old Course at St Andrews ....... July 12: St Andrews Golf: Carnoustie Golf Links The game of golf has been played at Carnoustie for more than four centuries. Tom Morris extended the course to 18 holes in 1867, but it was James Braid who brought sweeping changes to the course in preparation for its first Open in 1931. Hogan’s Alley, the Spectacles Bunkers and the 17th hole, with its Barry Burn all make the “Angus Monster” one of the world’s most memorable and challenging Open venues. Tour: Food Tour of Fife Touring guests are in for a treat today as acclaimed Scottish chef, author and Fife food ambassador Christopher Trotter is our guide and companion for the day. Christopher’s talent for storytelling shines as he weaves tales of Scottish love of local food while introducing us to farmers and fishermen, cheesemakers and a chocolatier. It is sure to be an ideal day spent enjoying the tastes of Scotland, against the backdrop of some of the most picturesque, quaint locales in Fife. Overnight: The Old Course Hotel .......

Some 600 years later, The Old Course has hosted a remarkable 29 Open Championships, and will host its 30th in 2022. With features including 112 bunkers, the famous 17th “Road Hole” and a layout that starts and finishes in the town of St Andrews, The Old Course will challenge and please players with links golf in its purest form. Tour: Falkland Palace & The Peat Inn Our tour visits Falkland Palace, one of the finest examples of Renaissance architecture in Scotland, inspired by the grand châteaux of France.

We tour the impressive gardens and interiors before visiting the Michelin- starred Peat Inn for lunch on our way back to St Andrews. Overnight: The Old Course Hotel .......

ABOUT K ALOS GOLF In 1994, Kalos Golf introduced the golf cruise, a new concept in travel. Chartering the Sea Cloud family of ships, we began transporting golfers comfortably and stylishly to the top courses in Europe. Our first clients appreciated the exceptional service and luxurious accommodations we offered, and the golf cruise concept took off. Since our founding, we have expanded our selection of uniquely designed itineraries to the finest golf and touring destinations around the world by land and ship, by private jet and chartered aircraft. In the process, we created wonderful relationships with our loyal clients and special memories with the more than 9,000 guests who have traveled with us. Kalos Golf itineraries combine the best of global golf and touring with five-star service, whether by sea, air or land. We charter vessels that accommodate a small number of guests, and stay at unique and distinctive boutique properties throughout our journeys. In essence, these small groups become a private club and create the perfect atmosphere for an intimate travel experience. In addition to great golf in historic locations, we arrange daily tours for those not playing golf. Whether attending acclaimed sporting events or touring the cultural, historic and culinary treasures of the areas we visit, our expert guides and staff are on hand to ensure a memorable journey. .......

GOLF’S FINEST TR AVEL EXPERIENCE The truth about great international golf courses is that they are typically in close proximity to fascinating cultural and historic venues, immersed in unique landscapes ripe for discovery, making our trips ideal for couples in which one spouse is a passionate golfer, and one may rather tour. We dedicate as much purpose to planning and executing our touring programs as we do our golf line-up; no other golf tour operator can make this promise. We know our clients demand stimulating experiences beyond golf and strive to present our guests with a rich blend of choices between golf and touring each day. Even the heartiest golfers among our guests often remark, “it was tough to decide today between the tour and the links.” Each day, touring passengers will have the option to experience fascinating cultural and historic or culinary and wine tours. On some days, golfers and tour guests will spend the day touring together and on others, they will get together for a private wine tasting or tour after golf. We challenge you to find a touring program with any other luxury golf tour operator that is as robust, inclusive and exclusive as you will find on a Kalos Golf tour.
