How to Play this Hole
Fantastic views to the north and of the town of St Andrews will take your mind off the accurate tee shot necessary to set up the best approach. Aim to the right of the left fairway bunker to land in the bottlenecked fairway. A low-running, downhill approach to an undulating front-to-back sloping green would be better served than attempting a higher, short iron approach.

-
No. 1 – Highland
This demanding par 5 first hole with a wee opening plays uphill all the way to an elevated green guarded by a deep green-side bunker.
-
No. 2 – Drumcarrow
Surrounded by trees, this narrow par 4 challenges golfers and demands an accurate drive up the left side of the hole to open up the green.
-
No. 3 – Denhead
The signature hole and shortest on the course, Denhead has a meandering walkway to give a stadium feel.
-
No. 4 – Roundel
A well-placed tee shot between the fairway bunkers leaves a direct approach to this green.
-
No. 5 – Beeches
Bunkers left and right of this dogleg could catch golfers out, but a 200-yard tee shot sets you up for a birdie.
-
No. 6 – Badgers
Another demanding par 5, this tree-lined tee shot has bunkers right and left to catch any wayward shots and culminates with a green surrounded by bunkers left and right as well.
-
No. 7 – Denbrae
An awesome, elevated tee shot with a sweeping left-to-right-shaped hole, Denbrae has a great view of Auld grey Toon, a historic building, on the horizon.
-
No. 8 – Fair Dunt
“Fair Dunt” can be an understatement with this uphill par 3, which can frustrate with prevailing winds.
-
No. 9 – Craigtoun
With a challenging second shot, this hole can quickly catch the golfer out, thanks to the long and narrow green with a left-side bunker.
-
No. 10 – Burn Brig

No. 12 – Double Dyke
Getting the distance right is key for this straightforward-looking par 3.

No. 15 – Steading
This hole features a sweeping dogleg right to left with an elevated green, as well as deep bunkers.

No. 16 – Melville
The last of the par 3s, Melville is a cracker with its bunkers left and right and severe drop-off through the back – not to mention the prevailing wind that blows left to right.

No. 17 – Strath
A picturesque gentle left-to-right par 4, this hole features two pairs of oak trees. It’s known to the members as “The Card Wrecker”!
-
No. 18 – Ice House
Challenging all the way, this uphill par 4 includes the valley of sin to the right, which means a misplaced second shot will leave you praying for a miracle up & down.
