1.34pm 21st March 2025 - <a href="https://golfbusinessnews.com/news/travel/">Travel</a> <br>A hugely successful <a href="https://www.scottishgolftourismweek.co.uk/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Scottish Golf Tourism Week</a> in association with <a href="https://luxe.scot/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Luxe Scot</a> in Aberdeen culminated in the Scottish Golf Tourism Awards on Thursday evening at P&J Live. <br>A brilliant week in the Granite City as SGTW brought together the golf tourism industry once more for over 3,700 face to face meetings, golf days, excursions and many other networking opportunities. <br>Since its launch in 2016, Scottish Golf Tourism Week has gone from strength to strength, creating tens of thousands of face-to-face business meetings and thousands of familiarisation trips, welcoming buyers from five continents across the globe. <br><br><br>Canada, South Africa, Spain and Australia; the USA, Argentina, Norway and Portugal – these are just some of the countries that have been represented this week at Scottish Golf Tourism Week. This year, we have welcomed over 101 Scottish businesses and 94 top international golf tour operators representing over 45 nations from all around the world. <br>The special evening is all about highlighting the very best of golf in Scotland. From golf courses to clubhouses, hotels to off-the-course experiences, and all points in between, it’s a celebration of the country that gave golf to the world. <br>The awards exist to celebrate the outstanding achievements within the Scottish golf tourism industry by recognising the finest courses, hotels and experiences that have helped shape Scotland’s reputation as a world-class golfing destination. The awards were hosted by BBC TV and radio presenter, Jason Mohammad who commented “What a wonderful evening”. <br><br><br>During the ceremony, Michael McEwan, Head of Content at bunkered, spoke about the current campaign to save Dalmuir Golf Course, and by extension, public golf courses in general across Scotland. The reaction in the room to his words was brilliant, as many industry leading individuals and businesses offered their support to the campaign, including the evening’s host BBC sports presenter Jason Mohammad. <br>This year’s 14 award winners were all chosen by an expert panel of independent judges from across the industry. <br><br><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The 2025 Scottish Golf Tourism Awards in association with Luxe Scot winners </span></strong><br><strong>Best Budget-Friendly Hotel </strong>– 3 star or equivalent: University of St Andrews, Accommodation, Conferences and Events <br><strong>Best Premium Hotel</strong> – 4 star or equivalent: Meldrum House Country Hotel & Golf Course <br><strong>Best Luxury Hotel</strong> – 5 star or equivalent: Gleneagles <br><strong>Best Exclusive Use Venue:</strong> Fenton Tower <br><strong>Best Course under £100</strong>: Tain Golf Club <br><strong>Best Course £100-£250:</strong> Another Place, The Machrie <br><strong>Best Course £250 and over: </strong>Carnoustie Golf Links (Championship Course) <br><strong>Best 9-Hole Course:</strong> Durness Golf Club <br><strong>Best Clubhouse:</strong> Dundonald Links <br><strong>Best Pro Shop</strong>: Panmure Golf Club Pro Shop <br><strong>Best Pro Shop:</strong> Moray Golf Club Pro Shop <br><strong>Best Golf Marketing / Social Media Campaign:</strong> Royal Deeside Golf Week <br><strong>Best Sustainability Project:</strong> Fife Golf Trust ‘Seven Courses for Nature Project’ <br><strong>Best Off-Course Experience:</strong> Cardhu Distillery (Diageo) <br><strong>Best Tour Operator: </strong>Bonnie Wee Golf <br>Trailblazing American golfer and Honorary University of St Andrews graduate Dr Renee Powell returned to the Home of Golf this week.<br>England Golf has been named one of six finalists in two categories at the FEVO Sport Industry Awards, with the national governing body nominated for Sport Organisation of the Year and the Wellness at Work award.<br>Pacesetter Technology, a leading innovator in mobile technology for private clubs, has announced a strategic partnership with 59club, the industry’s customer service management specialist. <br><a href="https://twitter.com/home?status=https://golfbusinessnews.com/news/travel/scottish-golf-tourism-week-draws-international-attendance/" rel="noopener" data-via="eGolfBusiness" data-hashtags="GolfBusinessNews">Share on Twitter</a> <br><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://golfbusinessnews.com/news/travel/scottish-golf-tourism-week-draws-international-attendance/&title=Scottish+Golf+Tourism+Week+draws+international+attendance&source=GolfBusinessNews.com" rel="noopener">Share on LinkedIn</a><br>GolfBusinessNews.com (GBN) is for the many thousands of people who work in the golf business all around the world.<br>We cover the full range of topics both on and off the course.
