Play St Andrews New 2:08 p.m.

The oldest ‘new’ course in the world, the second course at the Home of Golf was designed by the Keeper of the Green Tom Morris in 1895 and it was imaginatively named to differentiate from its famous neighbour. Boasting undulating fairways and challenging greens, the New Course is a classic test of Links golf. 18 holes, 6625 yards, par 71.

Lunch in St Andrews Links Clubhouse included

Sightseeing Suggestion: St Andrews Town Tour

Famously known as the Home of Golf and home to Scotland's oldest University, St Andrews is a wonderful historic, seaside destination on many a bucket list. St Andrews has a fascinating history. The cathedral was built in the 12th century and was the largest building in Scotland for seven centuries, with pilgrims flocking here from all over Europe. If you enjoy walking, the Fife Pilgrim Way (64 miles) follows the route pilgrims would have taken finishing in the town. The ruins of the Cathedral and Castle will take you on a journey back in time. The Castle’s underground mine passages and bottle dungeon remain intact and give visitors a real taste of medieval Scotland. It's also home to Scotland's oldest seat of learning, the University of St Andrews, which regularly features in the UK's list of top universities. Everyone also knows of the fairytale royal romance where Wills met Kate!
