Don’t be fooled by the name - The New Course has been testing golfers’ skills on St Andrews Links for 130 years.
Designed by Old Tom Morris after he’d worked his magic on the stretch of St Andrews Links now known as The Old Course, The New Course is a classic test of links golf – and is widely considered to be the St Andrews Links course with the best layout.
Winding a traditional nine-holes-out and nine-holes-in along St Andrews Links, The New Course boasts undulating fairways, challenging greens and unforgiving bunkers. And although not as famous as its St Andrews Links neighbour, The New Course is a worthy alternative – or addition – to a round on The Old Course.
Hole-by-hole
Aim to play short of the mound guarding the green. There is a clear view down the green from the left hand side of the fairway. From the right, the greenside bunkers front and back will come into play. You are never out of bounds if your ball lands on the Old Course.

Boasting undulating fairways and challenging greens, the New Course poses a classic test of links golf that will require all the tools in your bag.
Home of some of the toughest par 3s at St Andrews Links. If you’re writing down a 3, you’re doing well.
Old Tom left his mark with some strategically placed bunkers. Avoid them if you want a low score.
With a tough closing stretch, be sure not to lose focus as the town comes back into view.
Signature Hole: 6th. A legendary Par 4 which will test even the best of golfers when the wind’s blowing.
