Kingsbarns Golf Links
Kingsbarns Golf Links
Kingsbarns Golf Links, set along the coastline south of St Andrews, is widely regarded as one of the finest modern links courses in the world. Kyle Phillips created a design that appears to have evolved naturally from the landscape โ the sea is visible from virtually every hole, the turf is fescue-rich, and the routing weaves through a series of burns, dunes, and clifftop positions.
Since opening in 2000, Kingsbarns has climbed to a World Top 25 ranking and regularly hosts the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship alongside the Old Course and Carnoustie. Visitors are treated to some of the most stunning views in Scottish golf, particularly on the back nine where holes play along the very edge of the Firth of Forth. Every round here is a privilege.
