Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway From the tee, the fairway bunker on the left side of the fairway is the best line.
On The Green 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.

Hole 2
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway A strong tee shot at the left fairway bunker is essential.
On The Green 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 bunker right.

Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee A well-placed tee shot between the fairway bunkers leaves a direct approach to this green.
From The Fairway
On The 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 green.

Hole 5
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway The illusion of a narrow fairway is a strong feature of this terrific par 4.
On The Green 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 first seem and is well protected by sand.

Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee The views to the west and north can be distracting.
From The Fairway From these elevated tees a well-placed downhill tee shot must be right of centre on this right to left sloping fairway.
On The Green 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.

Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee A fantastic par 4 with spectacular views, this hole’s elevated tees allow you to see the complete hole.
From The Fairway An aggressive line just to the left of the large, double-sided fairway bunker on the right puts you into the perfect position to approach
On The Green the green. A low run-up approach often rewards you by helping get the ball to the hole.

Hole 8
Hole Name
From The Tee This 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 important, as anything long or to the sides leaves you with a very delicate shot.

Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee The right side of centre should be favoured from the tee,
From The Fairway as the fairway slopes to the left, allowing you a flat lie to face your approach to this well-guarded and elevated green.

Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee A 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.
From The Fairway 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.
On The Green Approach this elevated green from the right to avoid a deep greenside bunker left.

Hole 11
Hole Name
From The Tee This long par 5 is well bunkered on the left from the tee.
From The Fairway
On The Green 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 short of the burn is rewarded with a short approach to this two-tiered green, which is protected by sand greenside left.

Hole 12
Hole Name
From The Tee This uphill par 3 demands proper club selection to a slightly elevated green with a false front.
From The Fairway
On The Green The sand bunker’s short centre creates an illusion that the green is closer than it is.

Hole 13
Hole Name
From The Tee Fantastic 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.
From The Fairway 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 served than attempting a higher, short iron approach.

Hole 14
Hole Name
From The Tee This hole has more wonderful views to the north to distract you.
From The Fairway
On The Green 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 brings the water hazard into play regardless of playing to the left or right side of the burn. The approach to this undulating front-to-back sloping green accepts low run-ups as well as higher shots.

On The Green 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.

Hole 17
Hole Name
From The Tee Be bold with the tee shot anywhere between the two large oak trees,
From The Fairway and your approach will allow an aggressive line to the green. There are wetlands right and long grasses left to guard the landing areas.

Hole 18
Hole Name
From The Tee A challenging uphill par 4,
From The Fairway Mount demands an accurate tee shot left of the fairway bunker on the right.
On The Green 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 definitely break toward the north, while a view of St Andrews may take your mind away from the task at hand.
