Our office will enter you into the daily ballot and advise you of the result two days prior. If successful, green fees are payable directly to the starter on the day of play.

Day 2
Play Dumbarnie Links
Dumbarnie Golf Links, situated 11 miles from St Andrews in Scotland is a classic links golf course with stunning views over the Firth of Forth. This Clive Clark masterpiece makes the most of the coastal location with 14 holes having views across the sea and stretches to over 7,600 yards, from the back tees. Opened in May 2020, Dumbarnie is already one of the “bucket list” courses in Scotland.

Day 3
Play Crail Balcomie Course
The seventh oldest golf club in the world, The Crail Golfing Society is one of even fewer possessing a complete set of minutes from its inception. Located eleven miles south east of St. Andrews, Crail Balcomie Course is a classic links with some parkland. The course follows a magnificent coastline with every hole within sight of the sea, and the clubhouse stands on a commanding position offering panoramic views of the North Sea.

Day 4
Play Carnoustie Championship Course
Dating back to 1560, Carnoustie is described as one of the true wonders of the golf world. Frequently used for the British Open, and recent host to the Open in 2018, this 18-hole layout presents one of the greatest challenges for any player at the top of his game.

Day 5
Play St. Andrews Jubilee Course
Originally opened in 1896 along the New Course, the Jubilee has taken its place as a true equal. Any golfer playing to his handicap over the Jubilee will be flushed by the warm glow of achievement.

Day 6
Play St Andrews Castle Course
St Andrews Castle Course is located 2 miles outside of St Andrews, occupying a majestic cliff-top setting, which has been converted from a flat potato farm into a roller coaster ride of gargantuan proportions. David McLay Kidd, the young Scotsman responsible for Bandon Dunes, deserves all of the credit for creating a seaside gem, more than worthy of carrying the St. Andrews name..

Day 7
Play Kingsbarns Course
Strikingly handsome, with picture postcard ocean views from practically every hole, don’t be misled into thinking good looks conceal any shortcomings in the challenge department. This is a layout that has everything you expect from a traditional links and then some. The traditional out and back design is filled with a mind-boggling variety of challenges, yet there is nothing disjointed about Kingsbarns and everything blends perfectly into a layout that has an almost gracious and thoroughly natural flow. But in spite of the spectacular good looks and amazing views, a round at Kingsbarns will never be known as a walk in the park.

Day 8
Depart Scotland
