Castle Course

The Castle Course, St Andrews

Also known as course No. 7 of the famed St. Andrews Link Trust, the Castle course adds to the brilliance of possibly the world’s best collection of links golf courses. Opened in the summer of 2008, the Castle course was designed by David McLay Kidd, the designer of the heralded Bandon Dunes course in Oregon in the U.S.

The Castle course follows the coastline east of St Andrews and is just two miles from the centre of town. Kidd has worked wonders with the already brilliant landscape, making the Castle course a perfect fit to the Trust’s other six golf courses, with outstanding scenery and a challenging level of play.

Playing to more than 7,000 yards from the back tees, the Castle course has golfers around the globe excited to try out the newest golf course in one of golf’s premier vacation destinations. Following the coastline east of St Andrews, The Castle Course is two miles from the town centre and lies adjacent to The Torrance Course and Fairmont St Andrews

The terrain has been sculpted to create a natural looking course with rolling fairways and severely undulating greens. Hugging the rugged coastline, the course offers stunning views out to sea and down to the historic town of St Andrews.

After your round, enjoy Scottish gastropub classics, handmade burgers, fresh fish and chips, mussels and fine, local ales, all within the modern clubhouse setting of the Rock & Spindle.

First class start to finish. We had a couple curve balls with flight delays etc.. and the St Andrews Golf Travel team adapted and ensured our trip stayed on track. Thoughtful hosts, excellent accommodations, and impeccable service. Can't wait to come back and enjoy their hospitality again.

Our group of 8 played 4 rounds in St Andrews in Aug 2023. So many great posts already about the professionalism, dedication, and service provided by the St Andrews Golf Travel team it's challenging to offer a different take. Everything was a 5 star experience. Thank you Graeme, Marc, and the rest of the team. We'll be back!

Graeme and Marc are absolutely wonderful. We planned an 8-man trip to Scotland and every detail was perfect. Their service was impeccable. After meeting several other similar groups on Troon and St. Andrews, we felt very fortunate to have conducted our trip with St. Andrews Golf Travel. Every detail was carefully curated and all coordination, transportation and accommodations were flawless. I can't thank them enough and we are already looking forward to an Ireland trip with them.

Incredible! from my very first inquiry over two years ago until the completion of our trip on 8/13/2023 Graeme, Marc and St Andrews Golf Travel are 5 stars. Graeme would always follow-up within an hour or two even though the time difference was 5 hours. He planned every single detail of the trip and it was exactly as he said it would be. The golf was incredible, stayed at great places, ate incredible food and had a wonderful driver in Andy. I wouldn't or consider anybody else for our next golf trip across the pond! Graeme/Marc Thank you both and Cheers

These guys are the best. They got us on great golf courses, great tee times, and fantastic accommodations. Do not consider any other company for a golf trip!

This was the 5th time I’ve been to St Andrew’s for a golf trip, 4th time organizing a trip for 8 golfers, including myself. Covid canceled our original trip, so pushed back to July 2024!
Not only did Marc stick with us, he made the trip even better! I’m located in Scottsdale Arizona and Marc was always there for us and went way and beyond any other tour operator I’ve ever worked with. Hotel was close to Old course and Angus was a great host. Newly refurbished rooms & Fantastic breakfast at Bibi’s cafe to start our days. 5 of the lads had never been before and guaranteed Old course time didn’t disappoint. Marc secured all requested courses and was even able to move tee time back for our final round at Dumbarnie. Thanks again St Andrews Golf Travel.
If your looking for a tour company, look no farther than St Andrews Golf Travel!
