3The Dukes Course, St Andrews

Bask in the allure of The Duke’s, where a championship-level course is set amidst dramatic Scottish landscape. 

The 18-hole layout at The Duke's is renowned for its variety and the demands it places on players. Starting with a strong Front 9, golfers are immediately tested by wide fairways and strategically-placed bunkers that require both power and precision. The 1st, a Par 4, sets the tone with a generous fairway but the approach shot is tricky, as players must navigate the deep bunker guarding the green.

With the Back 9, the course becomes even more challenging. The 13th (Par 5) is one of the Duke’s signature holes, featuring a dogleg that bends around a stretch of water. The 16th, a demanding Par 3, is another standout, requiring precise iron play to hit the green. The closing holes at The Duke's offer a memorable finish, with the 18th being a Par 4 where golfers must avoid a series of bunkers and water features while managing their approach to the challenging, elevated green.
