St. Andrews & North Berwick, Escocia

Dunbar Golf Club

Opened in 1856 and redesigned over the years by Old Tom Morris, Ben Sayers, and James Braid, this course serves as a qualifying venue for The Open when it is held at Muirfield. It has hosted several championships such as The British Boys’, The Scottish Amateur, Scottish PGA, Scottish Boys, British Ladies, and the Ladies Home International Championship. Interestingly, Dunbar was the host of the first PGA Championship on the European Tour in 1968 (now held annually at Wentworth as the Tour’s flagship event).

Gullane N°1

• Gullane is a small town, neighbour to Muirfield that lives and breathes golf. Gullane n°1 was established in 1882, and it is a typical Scottish links course, with many memorable holes. The opening hole, cunningly called “The First” is a gentle short par 4. The 3rd hole a short par 5, called the “Racecourse”, is set on the lands of what used to be an 18th century racecourse. Lastly, reach the 7th tee and admire the view from the top of Gullane Hill.
• With a history of hosting national and international golf events, this members club has seen the Final Qualy for the Open Championship at neighbouring Muirfield and also the Scottish Open

North Berwick

• Golf has been played over this historic links course since the 17th century.  This traditional championship course’s unique design features a rock walls bordering the fairway of the 13th, that you must fly over to land on the green.
• The golf course starts in town and stretches along the Firth of Forth shores, providing breathtaking views of beaches, islands and the Fife hills.
• Holes 1 and 18 have a very similar layout to the Old Course, and the par 3 of the 15th features the Original Redan Hole, the single most copied hole in the history of golf course architecture.

Kingsbarns Golf Links

• This modern course is a Kyle Phillips masterpiece and considered one of the best links courses in the world. On an impressive plot of land that constantly overlooks the sea and the bay of St. Andrews, the club offers all the facilities at a 5-star level.
• It is a very playable course for everyone from the right tee, and it features lots of creative shots that make it a lot of fun, especially its 4 par 3s for beauty and challenge. It has hosted the Alfred Dunhill Championship.

St Andrews Links - The Castle Course

• Castle is the seventh course on the St Andrew's Links and offers a different golf experience. It is a links course with many level changes and moving greens. Castle, from the tee is very permissive and except for a few crossbunkers, the tees are relatively easy and that means that the medium and high handicap player can also have fun. The shots to the green are complicated but entertaining, one can be 50 yds away and it is difficult to leave it on the green. And that's why we think Castle should be played, because it's different.

St Andrews Links - New Course

• The New Course, known as the “oldest new course in the world”, was opened in 1895 and designed by the great Old Tom Morris. Its layout is extraordinary, more difficult than its brother "Old" and its layout -according to the old tradition- goes away in the first 9 holes, to then start the "return home". Overshadowed by its more famous sibling, if it were located anywhere else in the country it would surely host The Open.
