St. Andrews Old Course, Classic East Coast, Scotland

The Old Course is the oldest course in the world and was first played 600 years ago yet today it remains a true test of championship golf hosting multiple British Open Championships. Despite its reputation and status, it is still a public course and closed on Sundays. St. Andrews New Course was built in 1895 as a response to increasing demand for golf at St Andrews, both from locals and from the visitors who were flocking to the town in increasing numbers on the recently constructed railway. The New and Old are classic links which uses the natural features of the land. The courses have traditional out and back layout, with the 18th green just to the right of the first tee.
