St Andrews Old
Ask anyone about their first visit to this
historic course and they’ll probably tell you
how nervous they were on the 1st tee, facing
possibly the widest opening fairway in the world. There’s no
question that every golfer wants to play here, to enjoy those
double-greens the size of small islands and sample fairways that
every golf course architect has studied in order to understand,
appreciate and even replicate this majestic links. Creating
memories on the course may be your prize of playing here but it
is the rich history of St Andrews as well as the links that puts it
on every bucket list. Just look at the classic layout – nine holes
out, nine holes back – the seven double greens, the Coffins, the
Road Hole, the iconic Swilcan Bridge and the beguiling Valley of
Sin. Despite being a ‘flat’ course you’ll be surprised at how many
holes are hidden from the tee.
