The only heathland course in St Andrews, playing a round at The Duke’s offers golfers of all abilities a unique experience.
This 18-hole championship course is located in natural heathland, surrounded by established trees, gorse and heather and with stunning panoramic views over the town of St. Andrews and the bay beyond.
Designed by five-time Open Champion Peter Thomson, the thrill of risk-and-reward golf is threaded through all 18 holes at The Duke’s. As a result, since the course opened in 1995, it’s hosted a series of elite tournaments, including the Scottish Matchplay, the Scottish Strokeplay, The European Amateur Championships and the Scottish Men’s Amateur Open.
Hole-by-hole
From the tee, the fairway bunker on the left side of the fairway is the best line. 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.

The Duke’s is set up as two loops of 9 holes, with five separate tee positions on each hole offering flexibility in overall course length and difficulty.
Signature Hole: 3rd. The Duke’s 3rd hole – Denhead – demands careful club selection and, as there are bunkers all around the green, accuracy.
