Experience Golf in St Andrews
____________________________________________

St Andrews is recognised internationally as the ‘home of golf’, the world’s leading golf destination and venue for some of the sport’s major tournaments. The range and quality of courses, not to mention the majestic beauty of the St Andrews coastline, marks the town out as the premier destination for golfers around the globe.

With a rich variety of 11 courses designed to suit all ranges of ability and experience, St Andrews is a major attraction for golfers wishing to sample the unique atmosphere of playing golf in a town steeped in six centuries of the sport’s history. The high concentration of courses means that whatever the length of your stay, you can spend more time playing golf and less time travelling.

The world famous Old Course was named the second best course to play in the world, outside the USA, by respected American golf magazine Golf Digest (2007). Kingsbarns Golf Links (17th) and the New Course were also named in the 2007 Top 100 list. The range of courses and excellent value provided by St Andrews means any golfer, regardless of ability or experience, can sample the unique atmosphere of playing golf in a town steeped in six centuries of the sport’s history.

The town regularly plays host to major golfing tournaments, such as the Open which it will next host in 2010, as well as the annual Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. In 2007 the Ricoh Women’s British Open was staged at the Home of the Golf for the very first time.

Golf, however, is only one aspect of the St Andrews experience which draws golfing and non-golfing visitors from across the UK and the world. Steeped in Scottish history and with the highest quality resort accommodation, St Andrews is the perfect base from which to explore the wider Kingdom of Fife and the rest of Scotland.
