FOR THE GOLF LOVERS
🏌️♂️ Championship Courses ⛳
All of these are within St Andrews Links (the largest public golf complex in Europe).
OLD COURSE — The most famous golf course on earth. You enter a ballot to play unless you’re lucky enough to walk on. (You can walk the course on Sundays too!)
NEW COURSE — Not actually new (1895!) and loved by locals for being tough but fair.
JUBILEE COURSE — The hardest of the bunch; narrow, windy, and right on the dunes.
CASTLE COURES — Dramatic clifftop views and a modern layout.
EDEN COURSE — More forgiving and great value.
STRATHTYRUM COURSE — Shorter, friendlier, perfect for casual players.
BALGOVE COURES — 9‑hole beginner/family course.
