What St Andrews course - Jubilee or New?

[slugger]

Got the opportunity to play one of these at the end of the month. What would be the better course for mid-high handicapper? Is there much difference?

For me little diff between the 2,both great tracks and as hard as each other.I prefer the Jubilee as a course but that's just my opinion.

Both are fantastic courses (And fairly similar), but I think the Jubilee is the better of the two, especially the closing 6 holes. I wouldn't think it is too difficult for a mid/high handicapper as long as you keep the ball on the short stuff. A lot of the gorse has been cut back over the winter so it should be good.
Buy a strokesaver as it tells you what line your tee shot and approach shots should be, something the Skycaddie doesn't! (Also nice to keep)

Having had the chnace to play both, for me the Jubilee is head and shoulders above the New.

Both great courses, but the Jubilee is my favourite. Enjoy.......

I can only repeat and emphasize the opinion of the former posters. Both me and my golfing pal prefered the Jubilee Course although I scored better on the New but maybe because the wind was calmer that day !

Turns out, we can also play at Kingsbarns... sooooooooo...

Jubilee or Kingsbarns? My boss has just told me that Kingsbarns is his favourite track in the UK. Do people here echo his sentiments?

Kingsbarns.If it didnt have the old course so close it would probably make the open rota, doubt the jubilee would.

Jubilee is an excellent course.

The New or Jubilee was a tough one.

Jubilee or Kingsbarns is not. Kingsbarns by a mile
