KINGSBARNS, FIFE, SCOTLAND
Ranked #46 in Golf Digest’s 2022 list of the Top 100 Courses in the World
Only six miles from St Andrews, it’s not surprising that locals believe the links at Kingsbarns will be added to the Open Championship rota in the future. Along with The Old Course and Carnoustie, Kingsbarns co-hosts the Dunhill Championship every year. Having converted an old nine-hole course into the magnificent creation took a great deal of imagination and foresight, and the results are spectacular. With the sea visible from every hole, the holes are aesthetically stunning and magnificently designed to ensure ease of play from several tee locations. The greens are undulating and roll fast and true. This course has few equals that are as visually spectacular and memorable to play.
