Course Description:
Traditional links course. First laid out in 1897 and upgraded to championship standard in 1989. A severe test. Catch the view of the auld grey toon at sunset from the 18th tee.

18 holes, 6,805 yards, par 72 (SSS 73). A shorter version of the Jubilee Course is also available, known as the Bronze Course, it measures 5,674 yards, par 69.

Signature hole:

TWELFTH (538 yards, par 5) — Shortest route hugs the edge of the left-hand dogleg. The placing of the second wood is critical. Too wide and you may need two or three more clubs to the green. Too tight and the mound to the left of the green and the bunker come into play. The green is 40 yards deep so pin placement should be carefully assessed.
