St Andrews Links (The Castle Course)

The Castle Course is the newest addition to St Andrews Links, opening in 2008 as the seventh public course at the "Home of Golf." Located on a rugged cliff-top east of St Andrews, the course was designed by David McLay Kidd and offers spectacular views of the town, St Andrews Bay, and the North Sea. It is an 18-hole, par 71 course measuring 6759 yards from the back tees. The course is known for its rolling fairways, undulating greens, and a challenging yet memorable golfing experience, with dramatic holes along the coastline. Facilities at the Castle Course include a clubhouse with a restaurant and shop, changing rooms, showers, lockers, a driving range, a short game area, a putting green, and parking. Caddies, pull carts, and limited electric carts (with a medical certificate) are available.
