Overview
Just 20 minutes from St Andrews, Scotscraig offers golfers an exceptional opportunity to experience the origins of the game on a beautifully presented championship venue with real historical pedigree. Founded in 1817 by members of The Society of St Andrews Golfers, the group that would become The Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews, Scotscraig stands among golf’s original Scottish clubs and remains deeply connected to the birthplace of the sport.
Designed by Old Tom Morris and later refined by James Braid, Scotscraig blends traditional links turf with subtle heathland characteristics, creating a layout that rewards precision, imagination, and thoughtful strategy. As a six-time Open Qualifying venue and host of the Scottish PGA Championship in 2023 and 2025, Scotscraig has tested the game’s finest players for over two centuries.
Significant recent investment and careful restoration have elevated course conditioning and presentation to a superb modern standard, without compromising authenticity or architectural intent. Fast, fair greens, impeccable turf quality and a timeless links setting create a round that feels both historic and contemporary.
For golfers exploring St Andrews and seeking a world-class experience beyond the marquee venues, Scotscraig delivers pure Scottish golf, original, historic, beautifully maintained, and truly unforgettable.
