1From the tee, the fairway bunker on the left side of the fairway is the best line.It provides a great angle to lay up on the right side, which opens up the approach to the green. The approach is well protected by bunker complexes short right and greenside left.2A strong tee shot at the left fairway bunker is essential.Being in this position from the tee allows the ideal approach, with a direct line to the green. It allows for a low running shot or a higher approach shot to avoid the greenside bu3Be aware of the crosswinds overhead;this green is well guarded with sand. Anything long or short will require a very delicate recovery. Proper club selection is vital on this visually intimidating par three.4A well-placed tee shot between the fairway bunkers leaves a direct approach to this green.Anything off centre brings the greenside trees into play. The sand bunker short left is to be avoided at all costs as recovery will demand a long, blind explosion to reach the gree5The illusion of a narrow fairway is a strong feature of this terrific par 4.There is plenty of landing area to the right side of the left fairway bunker, leaving a relatively short approach into the green. The green itself is far deeper than it would first6The views to the west and north can be distracting.From these elevated tees a well-placed downhill tee shot must be right of centre on this right to left sloping fairway.Bunkers heavily guard both the second half of this fairway and green. The three-shot option on this hole is the wise plan to set up a birdie attempt.7A fantastic par 4 with spectacular views, this hole’s elevated tees allow you to see the complete hole.An aggressive line just to the left of the large, double-sided fairway bunker on the right puts you into the perfect position to approachthe green. A low run-up approach often rewards you by helping get the ball to the hole.8This aptly named, testing uphill par 3 requires a strong stoke. The best advice here is to take at least one club more than the yardage. Leaving yourself an uphill putt is vitally 9The right side of centre should be favoured from the tee,as the fairway slopes to the left, allowing you a flat lie to face your approach to this well-guarded and elevated green.Accurate approaches are vitally important, as severe side swales will leave a very tricky recovery to the narrow green.10A conservative-length tee shot with a line to the left edge on the distant bunker from the tee is perfect on this sharp dogleg left par 4.Aggressive long tee shots will end up dangerously close to a burn that is not visible from the tee, while the fairway slopes toward the water hazard.Approach this elevated green from the right to avoid a deep greenside bunker left.11This long par 5 is well bunkered on the left from the tee.Anything to the right of the first bunker complex will leave you a simple lay up short of the somewhat-hidden burn guarding the front of the green’s approach. The wise play short12This uphill par 3 demands proper club selection to a slightly elevated green with a false front.The sand bunker’s short centre creates an illusion that the green is closer than it is.13Fantastic views to the north and of the town of St Andrews will take your mind off the accurate tee shot necessary to set up the best approach.Aim to the right of the left fairway bunker to land in the bottlenecked fairway. A low-running, downhill approach to an undulating front-to-back sloping green would be better serve14This hole has more wonderful views to the north to distract you.Be alert with your yardage; it is crucial to select the correct club for your tee shot. Challenging the burn with an aggressive tactic off the tee may leave a shorter approach but 15A long tee shot to the right side of the fairway is preferred, avoiding fairway sand bunkers along the left side.This will allow you to view the elevated green for your approach, which is heavily guarded by sand bunkers on all sides. An extra club selection on the approach is recommended.16This testing par 3 normally plays crosswind, and an approach to the green from the left side is preferred,allowing an excellent opportunity to putt for birdie. Sand and deep swales guard this green against errant tee shots.17Be bold with the tee shot anywhere between the two large oak trees,and your approach will allow an aggressive line to the green. There are wetlands right and long grasses left to guard the landing areas.This green is long and narrow and demands accuracy from a low-running or higher approach.18A challenging uphill par 4,Mount demands an accurate tee shot left of the fairway bunker on the right.The green is quite elevated and demands an extra club on the approach. Deep sand bunkers left and a sharp drop-off right guard it. Putts from the centre or right side will definite
