Top 5 Golf Courses To Visit In St Andrews
With seven local courses and many others in the nearby region, St Andrews is paradise for golfers. To help you manage your time, we've put together a quick list of the top five courses the city has to offer.
-
The Old Course
Recognised as "the Home of Golf", the Old Course dates back to the 1400s. The course is still part of the British Open rotation, but it's surprisingly easy to book a slot to play, allowing you to tackle the Road Hole and make your way up the iconic 18th.
-
Eden
Eden is a 20th century addition to the complex and is sometimes seen as the easiest St Andrews course. Even so, the imaginative hole layouts provide plenty of challenges. But at 6,250 yards, you don't need to be a giant hitter to enjoy it.
-
The New Course
Hardly "new", having been built in the 1890s, the New Course is a place where wickedly sloping greens tumble into cavernous bunkers, and where fairways hide subtle humps and depressions, making shot selection crucial.
-
Jubilee
Added for Queen Victoria's 60th jubilee in 1897, this course is a fan-favourite with global golfers. It has been beefed up since the 1980s and can now deceive even the most accurate drivers (without ruining the fun).
-
Strathtyrum
Opened in 1993, Strathtyrum is the youngest St Andrews layout, but is maturing brilliantly. Visitors neglect this enjoyable course at their peril, especially if they are tired of bunker play. With 15 bunkers in total, this is a much more forgiving experience.
