Scotscraig
Founded in 1817, Scotscraig is the 13th Oldest Golf Club
in the World.
St Andrews and more particularly The St Andrews Society of
Golfers, later to become The Royal and Ancient Golf Club,
played a leading part in founding The Scotscraig Golf Club
in 1817. The lands of Scotscraig have always been closely
connected with St Andrews. The Gold Medal was first played
for in 1818 and is still played for and treasured to the
present day.

The Course
The course doesn’t sit exactly adjacent to the coastline,
there are a few sea breezes to consider when playing this
links, heathland mixture.
Since 1984, Scotscraig has hosted the Final Open
Qualifying when The Open is played over St Andrews.
Ian Baker-Finch, Brian Barnes, Justin Rose, Mark Mouland,
Duffy Waldorf and Sam Torrance are only a few of the
famous players to have graced this renowned classic Fife
course.
The most memorable hole is the Par 4, 4th, only 366 YARDS,
but with the fairway well protected on the left by large
revetted bunkers and a heathery terrain awaiting wayward
shots to the right, only well positioned shots will be
able to attack this small plateau green.
Par 4 4th Westward Ho
One lengthy challenge is the Par 5, 14th, 523 YARDS, and a
test that calls for precise positioning in order to reach
the well-guarded green. Players of all levels will find a
days golf at Scotscraig an enjoyable challenge and a
golfing experience they will never forget.
