Leven Links Golf Club
St Andrews, Scotland
Leven Links Golf Club overview
Leven Links Golf Course overview
Leven Links has a unique landscape of parallel ridge dunes that provide the ideal setting for links golf. Fairways run along valleys between these old dunes and the slopes and bounces of these natural obstacles come into play throughout the round.
Measuring just over 6500 yards off the tips and par-71, Leven has many great holes with the first four running along the delightful Largo Bay. The strength of the course lies in the undulating fairways, revetted bunkers, fine approaches and large greens, and we highly recommend including this links gem in your St Andrews itinerary.
Signature hole
The 18th is one of the finest finishing holes in golf, a long par-4 measuring 455 yards and requiring two well struck shots to reach an enormous sloping green that is protected by the Scoonie Burn.
Did You Know?
In 1870 the Standard Life Assurance Co. gifted the club a medal, which is still annually contested and thought to be the world’s longest-running amateur stroke play championship.
