In response to Brandon Tucker's article "Scotland golf travelers find relaxation at multi-course classics," 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 courses 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 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)."
