Golf is recorded as having been played on the hallowed links at Carnoustie since 1560.  Robert Chambers, an Edinburgh author and publisher, laid out the first course in 1834. 

The Carnoustie Golf Club was formed five years later. The first 10 holes were actually created by Allan Robertson, Scotland’s first professional golfer, who made a living from club making, caddying, and playing for money.  Incredibly, he never lost!. His apprentice at that time was none other than Tom Morris, aged just 14 years old.

The course evolved significantly when George Morris became the greenkeeper in 1855 before his younger brother Tom Morris created the first 18-hole course in 1867.  The course stayed the same until 1926 when the legendary gold architect James Braid was brought in to upgrade the course to the standard required to host the Open Championship. The game of golf has played an important part in the town’s life ever since.

Check into a historic residence located in the heart of beautiful St Andrews just 5 minutes walk from the Old Course.  Our apartments are the only fully serviced luxury apartments in the town, meaning you can expect lots of freedom and privacy but with the high-spec finishes and luxury touches of a hotel.

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. Opening 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 center 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.

After breakfast, we take a 30-minute journey to Kingarrock Golf Course.  Today you will experience how golf began by playing with Hickory golf clubs and a simulation feather ball.  The Kingarrock is the only authentic hickory golf course in the world.  The golf course was restored to the conditions of 150 years ago.  Expect to be transported back in time to an era when golf was a game of skill, strategy, and technique rather than one driven by innovation and technology. 

We head back to St Andrews after the event for our final night in Scotland.
