Fife’s Big Hitters

Here are the big hitters you won’t want to miss:

St Andrews Links (The Old Course)
The most iconic golf course in the world, the Old Course at St Andrews is where the game was born. It’s home to the legendary Swilcan Bridge, Hell Bunker, and the famous 17th Road Hole. It can be tricky to book a tee time due to its popularity, but there is a ballot system which you can enter on St Andrews Links website. (https://standrews.com/request-a-tee-time)
