St Andrews Links

Recognised the world over as the Home of Golf, St Andrews Links has borne witness to over 600 years of golfing history. That the game evolved and developed into its final form here has never been in question. Golf has been played on the famous Links since as early as the 1400s, and it was here in 1764, when the 22 hole Old Course was reduced, that today's 18-hole round was established, becoming the standard for golf courses the world over. One golf course has now become seven, and many of golf's most dramatic moments have occurred here. The Links has played host to the game's greats as well as those enthusiastic amateurs for whom the chance to play St Andrews' hallowed turf is a dream come true. As well as seven courses, the Links also manages four shops, three clubhouses and a Golf Academy - all open for the public to enjoy.

If your into golf this was a trip of a life time. Ive had the opportunity to play at great courses around the country. I play Torrey Pines in San Diego on a regular basis. St.Andrews by far has been the best golf and overall trip I've ever done. Play all the courses at St.Andrews, the staff the restraints the accommodations where all top notch and very reasonable. plan a year in advance and you will not be disappointed.

Kingsbarns Golf Links

A traditional Scottish links golf course with sea views over 1.5 miles of coastline ranked in the top 60 courses worldwide and top 20 in Europe.

Reviewed By wmccfp - Stuart, United States

Playing our 5th and 6th rounds at Kingsbairns the vistas, the wide array of links like and parkland holes is as good as ever. It’s pricey and while still wonderful Crail, Castle, Torrance offer similar vistas and challenge at a fraction of the price. Our conclusion (our group has played over a 100 rounds in Kingdom of Fife over seven years) is that it’s a wonderful course that’s very playable but the price affects the appreciation over time. Our reluctant conclusion is that we’ve had our last rounds there.

Had a great experience having a family golf session with expert tutelage from Scott. Basics were taught and demonstrated to us all and sound advice given - so much of golf is pretty obvious when explained properly! We played a few holes of The Old Course using Trackmaster during our family time after the lesson and it was great fun. The guys at the centre were very friendly and we felt COVID safe and secure throughout. A brilliant experience which we'd definitely recommend to friends and would happily do again. Thanks Scott and team

I played here some years ago so it was an absolute pleasure to come back. The course is very well maintained throughout and the whole experience is enjoyable from the professional and friendly checking-in at the front desk (Covid-secure in these troubled times of course) to the practice areas, teeing-off at the daunting first hole and thru every hole. The views over the town of St Andrews from the 13th hole are absolutely stunning. We were lucky to have great weather (with a small amount of wind) so has great visibility over the shore and sea too. It’s a long course, with several longish walks from green to the next tee. We hired buggies this time - definitely the way to do it. It’s far from cheap so it’s only for special occasions. The only downside was that there was no food offering on a Monday and Tuesday so we missed out on that.

Scotscraig Golf Club

This golf club plays host to final qualifying for the British Open, when the event is played at St. Andrew's Old Course, and is a worthy challenge to all skill-levels due to its fine links turf and smooth, fast greens. Visitors are made most welcome at this friendly golf club.

Reviewed By bigbobthegolfer

First review on here, but thought it was worth doing. I have played a number of courses throughout Fife, and Scotscraig is right up there with the best. The layout is top drawer, the greens have subtle breaks, and were quick and smooth when I played, although the 4th green seems to be different from the others. Friendly staff in the proshop and clubhouse, and the food is hearty and tasty. If you are in Fife on a golf trip, it's well worth a visit, being only 15 to 20 mins from St Andrews means it is easy to get to.

Having played both course for over 15 years on and off, I have been so impressed with Crail Golf Society that I am now a full member, even slough I stay almost 2 Hours from the course, it is the complete package, from a great welcome in the pro-shop, to a friendly welcome in the clubhouse and then you have 2 great courses to play, both courses have their own uneque challenges,Balcome the older course with its fantastic layout , can be very challenging from the tees, with some decisions having to be made were to place the ball or go for the big shoot, Craighead has its own challenges off the tees as well, but the main challenge here is picking the right part of the green to be putting from, both course are a credit to the greenstaff, play both course on the same day and you will have a enjoyable experience, great layout and fantastic greens, on top of this you also have great views all round the course. Book now and enjoy your day, once you have played Crail Golf Society you will want to come back
