What the club says: St Andrews The Home Of Golf is a golfing Mecca for every golfer and realises the ultimate dream for golfers worldwide. From the iconic Swilcan Bridge on the Old Course to Tom Morris's masterful architecture on the New Course, St Andrews Links has developed over 600 years. The three championship courses; the Old Course, New Course and Jubilee Course run parallel to each other along the famous West Sands of St Andrews. Nestled on the opposite side of the Links are the Eden, Strathtyrum courses and the only nine hole course, the Balgove. A five minute drive from the town is the seventh course, the award winning Castle Course which offers dramatic views over St Andrews from its spectacular cliff top location.

The Eden runs alongside the Old Course so you can enjoy a links course without the high cost! We really enjoyed playing here as it was our first links experience and we found it in top condition.

Stunning links/clifftop course
The Castle course is not a traditional St. Andrews links but boy is it exhilarating. Yes there are a few holes which feel the same but the semi-blind tee shots, rollercoaster greens and North Sea backdrop make this a thrill a minute golf course. You need to use your course guide well to pick lines and yardages off the tee. You barely get a flat stance even on the greens but everything about the Castle course is challenging, exciting and throught provoking. Standout holes include all the par 5 holes, the par 3 17th over the cliffs and par 4 6th hole. If you go to St Andrews, make sure you pay the Castle course a visit.Reviewer Rating

A long walk
The views from the course are stunning but it's a long walk and taking a buggy would be a good idea. The greens are still very tricky and in some cases it is difficult to get the ball near the hole even when the green. Too many Swales and slopes in my view.Reviewer Rating

Not quite the Old course but it will have to do
Started very misty and played 1st 3 holes next to 13th, 14th and 15th of the olf course. Plenty more gorse on Eden and no double greens. Plenty of interesting pot bunkers and back to faster greens greens. Not quite as quick as 1st 2 days but faster enough. 3wd has deserted me today. My most consistant club over the last 4 days.....the Driver!Reviewer Rating

Out of this world!
Very lucky to play the Old course in benign conditions at the end of March late in the day.Words will struggle to describe how special this place is and what it is like to actually play a course which is likely at the top of every golfers bucket list to play. As you would expect the experience & conditions were exceptional; from the greetings of the staff, the facilities, standing on the first tee and the conditions throughout. Whilst we played at the very end of the off peak season, with winter mats in play, this did not detract from the round, particularly if you missed the fairway by a few yards where mats are not actually needed. The whole course was first-class and we probably also lucked out, not only with the still conditions, but also the fact that the rough is cut back at this time of year making any shot missing the fairway not too perilous.
The course was a joy to play and offered a nice mix of fun, challenging and unique holes and we were aided in our round by the benefit of playing with a local who provided valuable insight in where to aim, what to avoid and the hazards you couldn't see - like the seven sisters on the 5th which make up over 100 bunkers which are best to be avoided! I've no doubt when the wind gets up this can be an extremely tough course but the course isn't there to destroy your game but there to let you know what a great game this is if you play the course as you find it and give it the respect it deserves.
With many shared greens and shared fairways to a degree, along with a few cross over points it never felt like you were too close to any other groups nor at risk from other golfers despite the course being full.
Too sum up, if you can, simply, just go and play it! The history, the town, the views, the Open, the course - this is the Home of Golf and simply a wonderful place to visit and a course simply out of this world that every golfer should experience at least once in their lifetime.

Everything you would expect from a first visit to Scotland and the birthplace of golf. Even the mandatory use of fairway mats did not take away from the experience. Used a caddie which made a big difference playing the course for the first time.
