If your stay in St. Andrews doesn't include playing The Old Course, an occasional hook from a New Course tee or fairway might just give you a shot or two from the holy grounds. But, on the other hand, you will not need to. The New Course is all you can expect from a links golf challenge. Wonderful part of... More

The new course was beautiful, difficult, and a great experience. The marshall's were unbelievably friendly and helpful. The course could not have been more accomodating and friendly. More

A great course in my opinion. Not overly tough, but the greens are tricky and the bunkers will easily reek havoc on your card. Not as hard as the old course and that makes it all the more enjoyable. Would I play it again bearing in mind all the other course in the area, well yes I would! More

Straight forward links as it should be. Not too difficult and no really killing bunkers. But a true challenge in strong winds. More

No booking for this course, it's a "turn up and wait" system. Not an easy course, but some excellent holes and very well looked after. More

I played the New Course for the first time this year. I've played the Old Course twice and although it is fantastic and not to be missed I would say the New Course is actually a more interesting course to play. Highly recommended More

My son and i woke up to a warm February Sunday and ran over to play the New Course as soon as the frost disappeared. The whole experience was marvelous, and while the course does not have the same memorable qualities as the Old Course, it is still thrilling to be playing here. We played the New and Jubilee courses... More
