Course Highlight
The Castle Course at St Andrews is ranked 95th in the Top 100 Golf Courses UK & Ireland. The 17th hole is the signature hole, a challenging par-3 that plays across a chasm to a cliff-edge green with stunning sea views.
About the Course
The Castle Course at St Andrews is the newest and arguably the most challenging course under the St Andrews Links Trust. The course features generous fairways, penal bunkers, and heavily undulating greens. The cliff-top run of holes from 7 to 9 is unforgettable. The spectacular 17th hole requires a carry over a seaside chasm, while the closing hole, a tough par-5, demands a precise approach shot to an elevated green guarded by bunkers and slopes.
