G&W Golf Tours was started with the clear objective of providing those around the world with a special golfing experience here in Scotland. We want you to be able to experience the same thrill we have from attending some of Scotland’s premier and lesser known “hidden gems” over the years. Our hope is to enable you to enjoy an unparalleled golfing experience here at the home of golf.

G&W Golf Tours is run by business partners Gary Ballantyne and William Armstrong. Having grown up in the Southwest of Scotland we have both been involved in golf from a young age and our passion has only grown over the years. This has led to us making multiple connections on a global level and aided with us understanding the needs and wants of golfers travelling to Scotland from all over the world.

Testimonials

Josh Baker, North Carolina

“Willie is a first class gentleman and an even better chauffer. Willie made all the arrangements for us including golf, lodging, meals, and entertainment. He even managed to get Spain to win a proper soccer match during our trip. The weather was beautiful, golf spectacular, and the company could not have been any better. We got to play some amazing golf courses. He even managed to help us get through the lottery to play the Old Course which was no easy task.
Better yet he got me to the Old Course to make an early tee time at the last minute. I highly recommend this company for your future golf trips to Scotland. Willie is the best.”
