The Castle Course

2008

Opened in July 2008 by HRH Prince Andrew, Duke of York, the Castle Course is the newest addition to St Andrews’ golf experience. The course offers views of the ancient town of St Andrews, out to the North Sea and to the Angus coast and the Grampian mountains in the distance.

Located two miles along the east coast from St Andrews town centre, this scenic clifftop course is already creating a great deal of excitement within the UK golf fraternity. According to Today’s Golfer magazine “The 17th is easily the most spectacular par 3 in Britain”.

The course was designed by David Kidd, a Scot who is renowned for his work on courses such as Bandon Dunes in Oregon. Golf Digest has likened the finishing stretch of the course to Pebble Beach.
