Greens & Scenes with Cam & G

We’ve now played well over 100 golf courses across Scotland… but which ones would we actually RUN back to? 👀

In this episode of Greens & Scenes, we’re choosing our favourite Scottish golf courses across three categories: best value, premium, and hidden gem 💎

We chat through courses including Cullen Golf Club, Shiskine Golf Club, Royal Aberdeen, Machrihanish Dunes, Corrie Golf Club and Anstruther Golf Club, plus a few honourable mentions along the way 🌟

From quirky nine-hole and 12-hole courses to championship links and some of the best-value golf in Scotland, this episode is basically our current guide to the Scottish courses we’d happily book again tomorrow 🙌

If you’re planning a Scottish golf trip, looking for hidden gem golf courses in Scotland, or just want to know which courses we think are genuinely worth the green fee, this one should give you plenty of ideas.

Let us know your picks too, especially the Scottish courses you think we need to play next 👀

**this is an extended audio version of an episode coming to YouTube very soon! Be sure to check out the CGgolfs channel if you want to see visual clips of any of the courses mentioned, plus our full course vlogs of all six winners (and more!!) that are all live now ⛳️

Waffle Wednesday is BACK! 👋 This week we're finally sitting down for a proper catch-up after a slightly chaotic few months aaaand we have a pretty exciting golf trip to announce… we're heading to PINEHURST! 🇺🇸

We chat about our plans for the trip, trying to golf at six months pregnant, Tobacco Road, The Cradle and why Pinehurst might just be the American St Andrews 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Then it's back to Scottish golf as we revisit one of our absolute favourites: Shiskine on the Isle of Arran. Is 12-hole golf actually the perfect format? Why does this little £25-ish course rank so highly? And what would we say to convince someone who's never heard of Arran to go and play it? 👀

Basically: Pinehurst, pregnancy, Scottish golf and plenty of waffle. We're glad to be back! 🎙️⛳️

Welcome to your bonus audio episode this week for any of our podcast listeners out there!! 🎧 As we come to the end of the men's major season, there's still lots of great golf to look forward to with the Women's Scottish this week and the AIG Women's Open next week! ⛳️

With that in mind, we recap attending the WSO 2025, the difference between LET/LPGA events with the men's tour, and of course what makes the course at Dundonald so worthy of some of the biggest events in the game 🏆

From it's challenging layout, punishing hazards and tricky run offs on every hole, the course offers a great test to the best in the game, but it is somewhere you should consider playing? 👀

Spoiler, the clubhouse has sauna's within the changing rooms, so... yeah, it's probably going to get a solid review 😆 Let's dive in! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Is Machrihanish Golf Club really worth the journey? We sit down for our first official 'Scottish Golf Stories' episode to look beyond Scotland’s most famous opening hole and discuss what makes this remote links course so special 🌊

Machrihanish is known around the world for its incredible 1st hole, but we think the course deserves to be talked about for much more than that. In this episode, we discuss the journey, the famous opening tee shot, the strategy, blind shots, par 3s, clubhouse, atmosphere and whether we’d recommend it for a Scottish golf trip 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⛳️

For this 'Scottish Golf Stories' episode, you can find the matching video on YouTube featuring our favourite highlights and snippets from our round at Machrihanish, with this audio version being slightly extended with more of our BTS thoughts 👀

Be sure to reach out to us either on Instagram or YouTube (CGgolfs) with any questions or suggestions as to where we should feature next 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Thanks always for the support, sit back, relax, and listen to everything you need to know on the iconic Machrihanish Golf Club ✨

If money was no option, where would we choose to play in Scotland? Is there really over £1,950 difference between a round at Turnberry and a round at your local municipal?

One of the great things of Scottish Golf is the variety and endless possibilities when it comes to different golf courses. This does however bring the question into play, of how far are people willing to go when it comes to playing one of those upper end courses?

With some green fees coming in at far over one club's annual membership, we discuss which golfing experiences are over (and under!) valued in Scotland 👀

Today we are talking through one of our new favourites, Dalmuir. The story behind this golf course is incredible, with the local community refusing to let it shut despite plans from the council, leading to a charitable trust and volunteers now running the course. From starting with zero in the bank account to now providing jobs for the local community, it's a great story on how far people will go to save a place they truly love ✨

We had the pleasure of playing Dalmuir just weeks after it reopened, and immediately we could see how important this place is to their members. In a time when a lot of golf courses are struggling, and often facing closure, it prompts a conversation as to what clubs can do to ensure longevity and a successful future ⛳️

Here we talk about the inspiring story of Dalmuir, our favourite feature holes, and what the options could be for the course going forward to ensure it thrives for years to come!

Welcome back friends 👋🏻

We're hoping you're all still here and doing well. Let's unpack everything from the last few months from our equipment continuously failing us (even more than our golf games!), our recent filming trip to Dalmuir and Dundonald, moving house and getting married, and of course, how we've got on with some competitions so far this year ⛳️

Hello friends and welcome back to CGgolfs! 🥳 after a short time away from uploading we're chatting you through our incredible trip to Arran, the reality of playing (or trying to play) in amateur golf events, and how our handicaps are trending on the race to +4 👀

Cam & G sit down to discuss the most discounted greenfee that St Andrews has ever seen!🤯

Scottish residents can now play The Old Course for £42.50 and can also play a host of other courses under the St Andrews Links umbrella for an87.5% discount💰

These prices are part of 'The Drive' which has been launched to improve access to St Andrews Links 📈 The initial phase of this will see a limited number of golfers tee it up in St Andrews in 2025 ⛳️

What are your thoughts on the scheme and have you entered to be part of it this year? 👀

Welcome back to our podcast! Today we're discussing Cullen Golf Links - the "World's Shortest True Links Golf Course", and all the reasons you should consider checking it out 🤩

Cullen is truly a unique hidden gem, with some holes unlike anything you'll find out there! With views, 220+ yard par 3's, drivable par 4's, and giant rocks you have to hit blindly over, it's certainly one you should have on your list 🎯
