What a stunning course- played on a sunny day and the views were magnificent. Nearly ever hole was visually superb but the 17th was spectacular . The greens are ridiculous but providing you don't take

Such a shame. The most stunning location on the cliffs overlooking St Andrews with magnificent views of the town and St Andrews Bay. Also, some of the best designed golf holes you'll see anywhere - th

The course is a complete contradiction. The lay out is stunning, on a par with anything. And I mean anything. The facilities are really 5 star. Staff are friendly. In fact everything is perfect, until

I have played this course each year since it opened. I was a fan from the beginning, but after three years I can firmly state that this is one of the best tracks in the world bar none. This is what a

Please ignore all the negative reviews before. This is by far the most spectacular course I have ever played (we played the Old Course and Gleneagles PGA in the same weekend). The scenery is stunning.

Fantastic use of the views and the sea and the wind. Green complexes are TOUGH--some have said too tough. But the major problem were hundreds of unmowed "hummocks" dotting the fairways, oft

In the bar at Rusacks we heard how unfair this course is,the only thing unfair were the opinions of these golfers. Wonderful fairways,tees give all players a chance if they acknowleged their talent an

They came so close to getting this golf course perfect - what the hell were they thinking with the greens? My advice is to go and play it and enjoy the views and the wonderful design from tee to green

The greens are a farce - the wind was howling the day we played so the conditions were tought to start with but when you can hit a shot ten yards short of the green and it runs thirty yards through an

I agree totally with the majority
of opinions- for a handicap golfer the greens verge upon unplayable.They are beautifully maintained -which only exarebates the sheer perverse lunacy of the designer!

Great course, on a par with Kingsbarns, Turnberry and Royal County Down as one of the great courses in the UK. The complaints about hairy bumps in the fairway should be ignored. They are part of golf

Great piece of land, beautiful views of St. Andrews looking over the cliffs. Overall the layout is pretty good EXCEPT for the unnecesary "hairy bumps" in the fairways. I understand stategica

Play it whilst you can! This course will have to be drastically redesigned if it is to be a viable moneyspinner for the St Andrews Links Trust, because it is just too damn hard - a bit like the Jubile

More blind tee shots than is necessary and hairy humps in the middle of fairways which also can't be seen from the tee makes driving a lottery. I have no problem with the odd undulating green to prot
