The Jubilee is one of the most formidable tests of golf to be found in this part of Scotland. The layout is situated on the seaward side of the peninsula that houses all of the St. Andrews courses, exposing it far more to the wind and elements coming in from the sea than any other in the area.

Squeezing an out-and-back layout into such a slim tract of land provides only the very narrowest of fairways, and pinpoint accuracy is required from start to finish - unlike the other St. Andrews layouts that are noted for their generous fairways.

The bunkers on The Jubilee are just as plentiful and just as deep as on the neighboring courses; the rough is no less punishing; the undulating fairways and fast greens no more accommodating. Throw in a few blind tee shots for good measure, and no matter how you look at it, The Jubilee is tough with no heart or forgiveness in her.

This is one of those courses where you really should take a caddie if you can. His familiarity with the course and how it should be played will only add to your enjoyment and perhaps even avoid some embarrassment.

No matter which way you look at it, St. Andrews Jubilee is links golf at its very best. Even though The Old Course has the history and reputation, The Jubilee will not disappoint and is a great test of golf.
