Best courses to play around St Andrews

[Albanach]

Steve, where are you going to get a mate to play with???

I'd certainly say that Scotscraig is a must if your in the area.

Three courses sorted, St Andrews Old and New and Scotscraig. Now just need one more. Must admit i prefer the more traditional courses with all the history, and am leaning towards Elie. Did hear that the greens were not so good this year, but hopefully this is not the case.

All comments welcome

Have to disagree with the comment on Elie's greens, they are in good nick just now but maybe perhaps a wee bit slow due to the amount of rain we have been getting.

Again there is so much choice around these parts that you can't really go wrong. Always fancied a game at Lundin Links and Leven but not done it yet...

I know I am late to the postings - apologies I only check the forum occasionally. However, if you are not sorted yet, could I propose you consider Crail? Just along the coast from St Andrews an outstanding venue and my personal favourite of the area. 2 x courses an old and a new, both used as Open Qualifiers, both Links courses and BOTH worth a game. Absolutely stunning and very reasonable cost.

If I lived in the area, this is the club I would join. I have played all the courses in the region and this is my favourite. Do yourself a favour, buy a day ticket and play both courses, have lunch and enjoy the best the area has to offer.

Thanks for that. i will certainly have a look at Crail. The choice of courses is fantastic, and i think we will have to have a second trip to play all the courses in the area.

Thanks for all your input guys. This is what makes the forum so good. You can read so much about the courses around St Andrews in magazines, but personal recommendations are so much better.

Thanks again Richard
