Course Review and Comments

Spectacular golf just outside St. Andrews, with views of the sea you don't get at the Links Trust courses down the road.

Purist links lovers will note it's a man-made amphitheater, and the greens are far more undulating (I've never three-putted so much in my life) than down the road. There are some tricky pin positions here.

That said, the course has one great hole after another including tee shots over the sea. A tremendous modern compliment to golf's historic birthplace.

Golf Courses Don't Get Any Better. This is the best golf course I've ever played, hands down. I rank it just above Pebble Beach and Spyglass. It doesn't have the tradition of the 'Old Course' at St. ... more»
