On June 22, 1997, the Jubilee Course celebrated its centenary. In the space of 100 years, it has developed from a 12-hole basic layout into what many consider to be the toughest test of golf at St Andrews.
In 1988, the Jubilee was re-designed to championship standards by Donald Steel of Cotton, Pennink, Steel & Partners, golf course architects. The teeing grounds were raised, not only providing wonderful views of the Links, but also exposing the golfers to the winds which sweep in from the bay.
Opened on June 22, 1897, to mark Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. The course originally had only 12 holes and was intended for ladies and beginners, but several re-designs have changed the course into one of the toughest around.
The Jubilee course was the proud host of the British Mid-Amateur Championship in 2003.
