St Andrews and Fife

About St Andrews and Fife

The Kingdom of Fife is just a short drive or rail journey from Edinburgh across the Firth of Forth. In addition to spectacular coastline, Fife is famous for two very ancient and historic towns - Dunfermline and St. Andrews. Dunfermline was the residence of early Celtic kings and its fine abbey is the burial place of Robert the Bruce. Dunfermline was also the birthplace of the philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, and lands gifted by him to the people of the town can still be enjoyed at Pittencrieff Park today. St. Andrews is home to Scotland's oldest university, which was built in 1413, as well as being the world-renowned “Home of Golf” which has one of the most famous golf courses in the world played by the best in the world annually for the prestigious Open Championship.

St. Andrews Links - Old Course

Par 72, yardage 6,609. The Old Course of St. Andrews Links is without a doubt the most famous golf course in the world and the one course above all others that every golfer dreams of playing. It is the 'Home of Golf', the game having been played in this Fife town for over five centuries. From the moment you stand on the tee in front of the R&A clubhouse, with St.Andrews locals and visitors spectating, until you putt out on the adjoining 18th green, golfers enjoy an experience unlike any other in golf. Contact a Golf Zoo Scotland Golf Vacation Specialist to review great stay & play package options that includes The Old Course of St. Andrews and you will also be a part of history! Note: Tee times are limited at The Old Course and booking plans recomended to be made months in advance. The Old Course must be paired with a round on the New or Jubilee courses of the St. Andrews Links Club. For advanced tee time bookings a foursome typically required. Maximum handicap: 24 men, 36 women.

Carnoustie Golf Links - Championship Course

Par 72, yardage 6,941. Evidence of golf dates from 1527 with this quote by Robert Maule: "Exersisit the gouf, quhan (when) the wadsie (wager) was for drink". In 1867, Tom Morris extended the original 10-hole design of Allan Robertson (recognized as the greatest player of his time). Architect James Braid altered and modernized the course in 1926. Unlike other links courses, this layout changes direction frequently. Carnoustie was used several times for the Open Championship. Maximum handicap: 28 men, 36 women. 2024 Course Closed: 5/5-5/10, 7/19-7/29, 9/28-10/7

Kingsbarns Golf Links

Regarded as one of the finest additions to Scottish links golf in recent years, Kingsbarns is home to dramatic sea views on every hole and is as good a links as they come. Sir Michael Bonallack went so far as to say that Kingsbarns might just be the last true seaside links site capable of development in Scotland. The par-72 course, a mammoth 7,126 yards from its championship tees, has wide open fairways that roll over undulating ridges and hollows and expansive greens - get on the wrong side of them and you could easily be staring at a three-putt or worse. For the third year in a row, Kingsbarns Golf Links has been awarded "Best Golf Club and Course Experience in Scotland" by Golf Tourism Scotland. Maximum handicap: 28 men, 36 women.

St. Andrews Links - Castle Course

Par 72, yardage 7,200. St. Andrews Links Trust has created a seventh eighteen hole course to join its portfolio of six courses. Open June 2008, The Castle Course is two miles from the town center. The designer, David McLay Kidd, creator of Bandon Dunes on the Oregon coastline, has created a typical Scottish golf experience. Each hole has a choice of five tees and the course will be playable between about 5,300-7,200 yards. The experience of playing the Castle Course will be a treat for the senses. The North Sea is a visible presence on every hole while the view towards St. Andrews is one of the finest possible. The focal point of the course will be the headland named Kinkell Ness, or Point, which is where the double green that serves holes 9 & 18 is situated and where the clubhouse is built.

St. Andrews Links - Jubilee Course

Par 72, yardage 6,805. Now well into its second century of life, the Jubilee ì Course has developed from a basic 12-hole layout into what many consider to be ì the toughest test of golf at St. Andrews. This championship course has large, ì firm and fast greens with plenty of pot bunkers and heavy gorse. It is hard to ì stay straight off the tee under any wind conditions, as the golfers are ì exposed to the winds which sweep in from the bay on the raised teeing grounds.
