Scotland St Andrews Links
St Andrews New Course.
Opened in April 1895, the course was built in response to increasing
demand for golf at St Andrews, both from locals and from the
visitors who were flocking to the town in increasing numbers
on the recently constructed railway.
Eden Course.
Opened for play in 1914, the Eden course was designed by Harry
S. Colt, internationally renowned for his course design skills.
His use of the natural features and of the partially buried
field boundary walls gives the course an entirely natural feel.
Jubilee Course.
Created on a narrow strip of land between the New Course and
the sea, the Jubilee was originally a 12 hole course intended
for ladies and beginners. It was the result of an initiative
by the Town Council who had re-acquired the Links under the
1894 Links Act.
Old
Course. The oldest and most famous 18 holes in the world. The
Old Course has played host to the greatest golfers that have
ever lived. Please note that although tee-times on the Old course
are limited, certain slots do become available. So, if you do
want to play the Old Course, please be in touch. 18 holes. Par
72. 6,609 yds. Links.
Strathtyrum Course.
On 1 July 1993, the Strathtyrum Course became the first new
18 hole layout to come into play at St Andrews for almost 80
years. It takes its name from the adjacent Strathtyrum Estate,
from which the land was purchased.

 St. Andrews and the Open Championship: The Official History When one thinks of the Open Championship, British Open, it's hard not to think of the Old Course at St Andrews as well. And no wonder, the Open Championship was first played at St Andrews in 1873. Since then, the Open has returned to St Andrews again and again. Each time, the game has been better for it. "St Andrews and The Open Championship: The Official History", is a detailed, chronological record of all the Opens that have taken place on the Old Course in the past 130 years. The text, by third generation St Andrean David Joy, is fully researched and highly informative. The colour photography, by Iain MacFarlane Lowe, is some of the most beautiful of the Old Course or any other course that you will ever see. Plus, the book is filled with vintage photos and additional documents that help define the true importance of this historical event.
