The New Course is a classic links course which uses the natural features of the land to create a first class golfing challenge. The course has the traditional out and back layout, with the 18th green just to the right of the first tee. It also has, in the great St Andrews tradition, shared fairways and even a double green at the 3rd and 15th holes.
Opened in April 1895, the "new" course was built in response to increasing demand for golf at St Andrews.
Course Information
Course designed by William Hall Blyth & Tom Morris, opened in 1895
The construction of the New Course was paid for by Scotland's Royal and Ancient Golf Club as part of an arrangement through which the club was given the right to certain tee times on the Old Course.
Located alongside the famous Old Course, the New Course can be considered one of St. Andrew's best-kept secrets, and is even thought by many to be more challenging than the Old Course.
