Don't forget that Old Prestwick and Royal Troon are easy drives from Turnberry. Also, Tain and Brora are close to Royal Dornoch. So staying at Turnberry you can add two well known coursea and staying at Dornoch you can play two unknown gems in addition to Royal Dornoch.
Other "stay and play" are stay in Aberdeen area hotel and play Royal Aberdeen, Murcar, and Cruden Bay. Stay at Graywalls Hotel and play Muirfield, Gullane #1 and North Berwick.
All great venues.
