St. Andrews (119)
A father and his grown son share a love for the game of golf, but for years their busy lives prevented them from getting together on the links. Join them for a reunion on the golf courses of St. Andrews, Scotland, the birthplace of golf. The two enjoy a stay at the St. Andrews Bay Golf Resort and Spa, where they try their hands at the resort's two courses and the world-renowned Old Course, arguably the oldest golf course in the world.

Take in a bit of sightseeing around the town of St. Andrews, visit the nearby fishing village of Crail, and tour Glenturret, Scotland's oldest Scotch whiskey distillery. On their last night in Scotland, the father and son are also treated to a falconry display and serve as the guests of honor at a traditional Scottish banquet.
