Lundin Links

Lundin Links, just 20 minutes from St. Andrews, is truly one of Scotland’s hidden gems.  The course was originally laid out in 1868 by Tom Morris followed by an extensive redesign by James Braid in 1909 which included extending the course from 9 to 18 holes.  Measuring 6,371 yds, a par 71 links golf course with a bit of everything: burns, blind drives, sand dunes, out of bounds, bunkers and wind. Renowned for its fantastic greens and some of the most demanding par 4s in the game of golf Lundin was an Open Championship final qualifying course between  1984 and 2010.

Lundin Links is a challenging course with fabulous views across the Firth of Forth towards Edinburgh and East Lothian.  The course remains largely as it was some 100 years ago.  The first five holes are in classic links tradition before crossing a now extinct railroad line and playing nine holes on what might be described as a cross between links and parkland turf.  The final four holes revert back to genuine links tradition.  Not long by modern standards, Lundin nonetheless presents a thorough test of the golfers skills.
