St Andrews Links
St Andrews - Castle Course
Located two miles from St Andrews town centre, and following the Fife coastline, the Castle Course is a wonderful addition to the St Andrews Links Courses. The designer, David McLay Kidd, creator of Bandon Dunes in Oregon, created a typical Scottish golf experience with wonderful views over the town and the North Sea. It has been designed with tradition very much in mind. Approaches will allow for bump and run as well as pitches and the heavily contoured greens are fantastic.
St Andrews - Eden Course
The Eden Course is slightly more forgiving than its contemporaries on the seaward side of the Links, the Eden Course was built in 1914 by the world renowned Harry S. Colt whose use of the natural boundaries and severe bunkers provides a course full of character. It is a little shorter and than the New or Jubilee Course but still provides a challenge in the ever present wind that sweeps across the links.
Crafted by the master Harry S. Colt and later tweaked by the modern genius Donald Steel, the Eden course is a short, enjoyable layout that’s a favorite among the St. Andrews locals. Located roughly a 20-minute walk from downtown, the course features natural boundaries and severe bunkering. Don’t let the lack of overwhelming yardage fool you. The par-3s, No. 5 and No. 8 both measure well less than 200 yards from the back tees, but are daunting in their design and delightful to play.Details

St Andrews - Old Course
This is the ''Home of Golf''. The Old Course has played host to the greatest golfers and produced many of golf's most dramatic moments. Wide double fairways, seven extensive double greens, and a multitude of intimidating bunkers are just some of the unique features you will encounter. Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods each hoisted the Claret Jug here on two occasions. In 1927, Bobby Jones claimed The 62nd Open six years after taking four strokes to escape the Hill Bunker at the 11th and tearing up his scorecard! No. 17, the “Road Hole”, is always an adventure as is negotiating the Valley of Sin at the short par-4 18th.
