The Old Course at St Andrews, St Andrews, Scotland

Jeff Sdeghh — Wed, 01 Aug 2012 05:22:21 +0000

Truly it’s remarkable that the game of golf continues to revolve around the course that gave it birth over 600 years ago. It’s all the more impressive when you consider that aside from some new tees and an irrigation system, nothing’s changed all that much at the world’s 4th ranked golf course since 1764 when 22 holes were reconfigured to 18. Meanwhile the game and its players have gone from the Stone Age to the Space Age, and yet, in July of 2015 the Old Course at St Andrews will host the Open Championship for the 29th time — a run that began in 1873. Clearly there is no place like the Home of Golf. Ask Nicklaus, or Jones, or Tiger, or Seve. You’re there in the shadow of the R&A, with the Valley of Sin on your left and a gallery of locals, tourists and other players looking on. When your name is called to the tee your knees will know it and what was the simplest tee shot suddenly feels like a sudden death playoff. Our best advice is to take a line 20-30 yards left of the green, play for 225-250 yards off the tee, and slow yourself down. More. This is a moment to savor. A visit to St Andrews and the Old Course will often include play at the New Course, the Jubilee Course, the Castle Course plus Kingsbarns and Carnoustie.

Castle Stuart Golf Links, Inverness, Scotland

There’s a case, often made, that Royal Dornoch alone is worth a journey to the Highlands. It is of course but treasure hunting links golfers will be pleased now to find new loot at Castle Stuart. Opened in 2009 with instant honors from Golf Magazine as the “Best New International Course” of the year, Castle Stuart is the work of Americans Mark Parsinen (Kingsbarns) and Gil Hanse. It is a meticulously maintained modern links found along Moray Firth thirty minutes from energetic Inverness and a stone’s throw from the airport. Six holes hug the shoreline while the others are played overhead, on an escarpment that divides the entire golf course. As such you are never not looking at the sea plus it provided Mr. Parsinen with opportunities to create his “infinity” views which produce striking photographs and shaky golf swings. A visit to the Highlands for World 56 Castle Stuart and World 16 Royal Dornoch would often include Nairn and Brora, plus Royal Aberdeen and Cruden Bay on the way up or down.

Castle Course at St Andrews, Scotland

Jeff Sdeghh — Fri, 15 Jun 2012 04:18:05 +0000

The Castle Course at St Andrews opened in 2008 as the first golf course built for the St Andrews Links Trust in 100 years. Scotsman architect David McLay Kidd, creator of Bandon Dunes, transformed a farm along the coast 2 miles east of city center into visually striking “modern links” layout comparable to Kingsbarns and Castle Stuart. A PerryGolf Scotland golf vacation will frequently combine play at the Castle Course with the Old Course, Carnoustie and Kingsbarns.
