6,310 yards • Par 71

Scotscraig is conveniently located only 15minutes from the famous Old Course, St Andrews. Although the course doesn’t sit exactly adjacent to the coastline, there are a few sea breezes to consider when playing this links, heathland mixture. Since 1984, Scotscraig has hosted the Final Open Qualifying when The Open is played over St Andrews. 2005 sees the return of The Open to St Andrews and once again Scotscraig will be a Qualifying Course. Ian Baker-Finch, Brian Barnes, Justin Rose, Mark Mouland, Duffy Waldorf and Sam Torrance are only a few of the famous players to have graced this renowned classic Fife course. The most memorable hole is the Par 4, 4th, only 366 yards, but with the fairway well protected on the left by large revetted bunkers and a heathery terrain awaiting wayward shots to the right, only well positioned shots will be able to attack this small plateau green. One lengthy challenge is the Par 5, 14th, 523 yards, and a test that calls for precise positioning in order to reach the well-guarded green. Players of all levels will find a days golf at Scotscraig an enjoyable challenge and a golfing experience they will never forget.
