Ayrshire - St. Andrews
 

   

St. Andrews - Old Course
Architect: Unknown (1754)
18 holes: 6041yds: par 72.
The original and to many still the finest. The history attached to the oldest links in golf is unparalleled and all golfers owe it to themselves to play here at least once in their lifetime.
Caddies are advisable as the direction of play is not always obvious from the Tee, as well as the the huge putts over double Greens
that take quite a bit of reading.
N.B. There is a daily lottery for Tee-times and no play is allowed on Sundays.


St. Andrews - New Course
Architect: Old Tom Morris & W. Hall Blyth (1895)
18 holes: 6036yds: par 71.
Considered by more than a few locals to be the best of the collection of courses at St. Andrews, the New Course runs alongside the Old on similar springy turf bedecked with gorse bushes and deep bunkers. As with all links courses, ability to play the pitch-and-run shot is paramount.


 

 


   

St. Andrews - Jubilee Course
Architect: Old Tom Morris (1897)
18 holes: 6162yds: par 72.
The Jubilee course is the longest of the St. Andrews fold and the hilliest, although the inclines all around the Auld Grey Toon are far from severe! The Jubilee was given a minor facelift for its centenary in 1997 and is now a perfect complement to the other courses run by the Links Trust.


St. Andrews - Eden Course
Architect: Harry Colt (1914)
18 holes: 5662yds: par 70.
The shortest of the St. Andrews collection, yet still exhibiting all the intricate demands of a true links. A great course on which to start your week and hone your links skills of low shots into the wind, running the ball up to the flag on firm Greens, escaping from deep bunkers and staring into gorse bushes...
