He is a popular Sky Sports presenter and former golf professional who has played on some of the best courses in the world.
And now, Iona Stephen has discovered an absolutely amazing place where you can relax for free.
The popular Scot Iona, 33, is known to millions of viewers as one of Sky’s top golf presenters and experts.
But before she provided her expertise from behind the mic in her career, Iona was a professional golfer herself on the Ladies European Tour.
But the end of her professional career certainly doesn’t mean the end of her competition at the world’s top golf courses.
Iona has her own hugely popular YouTube series, On the road with IonaWhere she participates in some of the most famous, best and most challenging courses in the world.
Recently, he played a round at Royal Troon, teed off at the Old Course at St. Andrews and enjoyed a game at Wentworth.
His latest trip for his YouTube show has taken him to a place that is not as famous but certainly no less amazing.
And what’s more, this incredible Scottish spot is a course that anyone can play for free.
Iona took his clubs onto a yacht and traveled from the mainland to the beautiful island that bears his name – the Isle of Iona.
The picturesque Hebridean paradise is home to just 177 people and is only accessible by sea.
Although the island may be small, you will find a golf course there that has been ranked as one of the best short courses on the planet.
The Iona Golf Course is an 18-hole course with a total length of just over 4,400 yards.
The stunning course is surrounded by clear blue waters and stunning scenery, including sheep and cows grazing.
Incredibly, the Iona Golf Course is free to play.
If you visit the island with your clubs, you can enjoy a round if you wish.
The only thing you’ll need to pay for is a scorecard, which you can pick up from the local post office for £1.
There is no club house, climbing the hill will take you to the first tee.

Golf on the island dates back to the late 1800s, and the naturally stunning courses are maintained by Iona locals.

After finishing her round, she said: “A golf course I won’t forget in a hurry.
“What fun that was. Playing six holes, Iona Golf Course, on the island of Iona.
“I always hoped I would go somewhere.
