Scotland boasts plenty of golf 'stay and play' options, reader says
Editor's note: This letter is in response to WorldGolf.com staff writer Brandon Tucker's story on multi-course spots in Scotland.
Don't forget that Prestwick Golf Club and Royal Troon Golf Club are easy drives from Turnberry. Also, Tain and Brora golf clubs are close to Royal Dornoch. So staying at Turnberry you can add two well-known courses, and staying at Dornoch you can play two unknown gems in addition to Royal Dornoch.
Another "stay and play" option is to stay in a hotel in the Aberdeen area and play Royal Aberdeen, Murcar and Cruden Bay. Stay at Greywalls Hotel in East Lothian and play Muirfield, Gullane No. 1 and North Berwick. All great venues.

Reader agrees: Desert golf courses in American Southwest slighted by Top 100 rankings
"It is a little far fetched that Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada only have a couple of Top 100 courses in the Golf Magazine list. I have played both We-Ko-Pa Golf Club courses in Scottsdale many times, and let me tell you, it compares with almost any of the Top 100 except the obvious few (Augusta National, Pine Valley, etc)."
