Designed by David McLay Kidd, the course sits on a dramatic clifftop overlooking St Andrews Bay, offering some of the most breath-taking coastal views in Scottish golf. While it differs from the town’s more historic layouts, the Castle Course provides a modern take on traditional links golf, featuring dramatic, rugged terrain and clever design that incorporates panoramic sea views on many of its holes, something you don’t get from the Old, New & Jubilee courses.
Perhaps the most memorable hole is the par-3 17th, which requires a precise shot over a rocky inlet to a well-guarded green. The Castle Course’s dramatic setting and bold design make it a thrilling challenge for golfers of all levels. After a round, players can relax at the clubhouse, which offers stunning panoramic views of the course and the North Sea, making for a truly unforgettable St Andrews golf experience.
