St Andrews Links® Golf Courses

St Andrews is famously known around the world as the Home of Golf. In total the town has 189 holes of golf to choose from which offers juniors on our golf camps an exciting variety of links golf to experience. St Andrews Links Trust currently operates six courses on the links – the world-renowned Old Course, the New Course (established in 1895), the Jubilee (1897), the Eden (1914), the Strathtyrum (1993) and the nine-hole Balgove. A seventh – The Castle Course – has been built in a panoramic coastal setting to the south of the town.

The Eden

One of the six courses under the guidance of the St Andrews Links Trust, the Eden is a delightful links course and one of the Links' more popular tracts. The fairways are not especially tight, although there are bordered by whins with thick semi rough just in front. The greens are one of the highlights round this course and if you get on the wrong side you can be left with a treacherous 30-footer that's full of curves and contours. The closing stretch of holes are superb, with the long 17th featuring out of-bounds on the right and the 18th, which has a wonderful, teasing approach shot into an undulating green.
