Struie Course
An easier test than its more renowned counterpart but just as beautiful, the Struie Course is a fun test of golf set in the beautiful home of golf. The par-69 course plays a short 5438 yards but with quick greens and fast undulating fairways, the course requires tactical positioning and good tee shots to ensure a good round.
Championship Course
This incredible links course plays 6514 yards of exceptional golf in equally exceptional surroundings. The opening hole on the Championship Golf Course is a simple par-4, no indication of the joy and trouble to come. It is not until golfers walk over the headlands to the third tee that they get a sense of this striking golf course. Tom Watson claimed it’s "the most fun I've ever had on a golf course" and he's played a few!
