The world famous golf course is a classic links course. Here Golf began 600 years ago, on public land, to which everyone can have access. In the top 5 of the best courses in the world, the Old course is totally unique for two reasons; firstly because of its long history and secondly because golfers have to play certain shots here that they will play nowhere else, (for example, a 60 metres putt!). The name of the architect is unknown but mother-nature has shaped this magnificent piece of land over the centuries, like most Scottish golf courses. The land is flat and has gigantic greens, with seven greens shared between two holes each. The course is also characterised by shared fairways, 112 Scottish deep bunkers and many “blind” shots. At only 6,041 yards (from the championship tees), the Old course is not an easy course, especially when the wind decides to become part of the game. You will enjoy certain special parts of the course such as the “hell bunker”, the “road hole”, the “swilican bridge”, and the opportunity to start and finish your round in town. |

| Opened in 2000 and already amongst the best golf courses in the world, Kingsbarns is, according to many people, the best golf course opened in the 21st century. This remarkable achievement gives the golfer views of the North Sea from every part of the course. In the beginning, the land was completely flat and they had to move thousand of tons of earth to build a gigantic golfers’ paradise. Their other astounding achievement is that the course looks so natural that you would think that it had been there for ever. Only 15 minutes from St Andrews, this world-class golf course is a must to be added to your golf tour. |
