St Andrews - Old Golf Course 
|
|
The famous "Old Course" (par 72) runs alongside the coast. Originally there were 22 holes, but in 1836 the number was reduced to 18 ("nine out" and "nine home"). With huge "double greens", putts of 100ft/30m or more are sometimes required. Behind the first tee stands the majestic clubhouse of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club - the European headquarters of the sport's governing body.
A new course has also been added, completed in late 1995. The course was designed by Peter Thomson, and is located at Craightoun Park.
