Bespoke Golf Travel & Tour Operator in Scotland
Discover Scotland Through Golf, Heritage, and Storytelling
Welcome to Eden Golf Travel, where every drive, round, and mile tells a story. We specialize in
bespoke golf and heritage tours across Scotland, designed for travelers who want more
than a checklist — they want a real connection to the country, its courses, and its culture.
At the heart of every Eden experience is John Henderson, a lifelong St Andrews caddie and
professional golf chauffeur. John doesn’t just take you from course to course. He guides you
through the soul of Scotland — sharing history, humor, and stories that bring every landscape to
life. From the moment you arrive at the airport until the day he drops you off again, every detail
is handled. Tee times, dining, distillery visits, and luxury travel — all carefully planned so you
can relax and enjoy the journey.
Eden Golf Travel is your key to Scotland’s finest golf, scenery, and hospitality — delivered with warmth, precision, and a personal touch that only experience can bring.
about us
The Eden Experience
Scotland is the home of golf — and Eden Golf Travel is your way to experience it in complete
comfort. Each journey is handcrafted for your group, blending championship courses, hidden
gems, whisky trails, and historic landmarks. Whether you’re chasing a bucket-list round at the
Old Course or exploring the rugged Highlands, your itinerary is built around your pace,
preferences, and passions.
Our guests don’t lift a finger. We handle everything — from airport pickup to your last toast of
whisky before departure. You’ll travel in executive Mercedes vehicles, enjoy premium
lodging, and experience seamless daily planning with local insight at every stop.
Your only job is to enjoy yourself.
Meet John Henderson
Few people know Scottish golf the way John Henderson does. He has been a St Andrews
caddie since 1984, walking the fairways with players from around the world. Over the years,
he’s become known for his deep local knowledge, quick humor, and talent for making visitors
feel like old friends.
As your guide and driver, John turns each trip into something personal — weaving together golf,
storytelling, and Scotland’s rich heritage. He knows the backstory to every course, every whisky
distillery, and every castle you’ll pass along the way. His focus is simple: to give you the best
experience possible while you’re here.
John is more than a driver — he’s your host, your local expert, and sometimes, your guest
caddie. His attention to detail and passion for what he does make every Eden journey
unforgettable.

For Golfers and Non-Golfers Alike
Eden Golf Travel is for everyone who loves Scotland — not just golfers.
If someone in your group prefers sightseeing over tee times, we’ll plan days filled with castles,
coastal towns, and whisky tastings while others play. For couples and families, we can balance
