Booking timeline, venue selection, accommodation, transport, budgeting per head — the full logistics manual for a group of 8 to 24.
Courses with large locker rooms, welcoming starting sheets, a proper 19th hole, and the kind of variety that gives a group something to argue about for months afterwards.
The honest cost comparison, the course variety argument, the culture that survives the 19th hole, and the reason the Algarve is not actually cheaper once you've done the maths.
Which Scottish courses have formal group rate thresholds, what the discount typically looks like, when to ask and how, and the venues that give groups the best deal.
Stableford or stroke? Full handicap or three-quarters? Split into teams or play individual? The format options, the Scottish traditions worth keeping, and how a proper Scottish society day ends.
Self-catering houses vs. hotel blocks, the stay-and-play packages that actually work for groups, and what accommodation costs per head depending on how you split it.
