Kingsbarns Golf Club
Kingsbarns, St. Andrews, Fife, KY16 8QD
Voted No. 8 in the Golf Monthly/HSBC
Top 120 UK Course Rankings - November 2006
Located directly on the North Sea coast only six miles from St. Andrews, Kingsbarns is without a doubt one of the most breathtaking links courses ever developed. Though it only opened for general play in July 2000, it is not untrue to say that the links appears to have been in situ for centuries as golf was played on this very site as far back as 1793.
Kingsbarns Golf Links is a real one of a kind and contrasts with Scotland's other famous links courses in that it is a new, man-made development. With views of the ocean and the high tide foaming over the rocks below, one quickly realizes that this links is special and while nothing can replace the Old Course, Kingsbarns Links is infinitely more scenic and is a worthy spiritual descendant of its historical neighbour.
The sea figures prominently on every hole and one's senses are continually pricked with the sights, sounds and smells of the ocean spray. The links boasts spacious fairways, which roll and twist through majestic dune ridges and hollows, while its large inviting greens present the golfer with subtle challenges. Combined with true links turf and associated contours, Kingsbarns Golf Links is distinctly playable but challenging to the end.
Remember the name Kingsbarns Links, it is a tribute to its rich Scottish links heritage and you will be hearing and reading so much more about this course in the years and decades to come.
NB. Kingsbarns Golf Links reserves the right to inspect handicap certificates.
