St Andrews
New Course, St Andrews
St Andrews, Scotland
BY RUSSELL KIRK
Old Tom Morris and B. Hall Blyth (interesting man) designed The New Course, St Andrews which opened in 1895, nearly three and a half centuries after the Old Course. It was built because golf was catching on. It’s adjacent to the same sacred ground as the Old Course but it plays clockwise which many find to be the more natural routing. This means all the trouble is on the left and since there is only one double green it makes for a more traditional links design with normal sized greens defended by normally obnoxious bunkers. The locals vouch for the New Course as the sterner test and are prompt to point out that if it were situated on any other piece of links land…..which is true but it sounds like an apology where none is due. This great links is simply one of Scotland’s most hidden of hidden gems even as it sparkles in such plain sight.
