The small greens and narrow fairways of St Michaels are considered by some to be just as testing as its golfing neighbour, the Old Course.

Originally laid out in 1903 by the legendary Old Tom Morris and fellow Old Course Custodian Hugh Hamilton, St Michaels was extended in 1996 to become an 18-hole course, just as Old Tom and Hugh had intended.

Located on the ominously named Gallow Hill, a game at St Michaels can be a highly enjoyable experience. Full of surprises and challenges, as is to be expected from a course of this pedigree, St Michaels passes through wooded parkland and across undulating heathlands, offering several of the best Par 3s in Fife and views over the River Eden to the spires of St Andrews. 

 

Hole-by-hole

Our guide to getting the best out of your round

Lang Reach

HOLE 1 PAR 4/5. S.I. 0

A long Par 4 which plays into the prevailing wind. Aim at the marker post in the center of the fairway. A blind second aimed at the marker pole behind the green. Keep the ball to the right side as the fairway slopes from right to left. The green has a small step to the left which is difficult to find if the pin is here.

what golfers say

Just by chance we decided to play at St Michaels… Wow! what a surprise. The course, which was in marvellous condition, was a joy to play. We enjoyed the course so much, we repeated the experience the next day.
