The Castle Course has joined the St Andrews Links Trust's portfolio of 6 courses and is the first championship-length 18-hole golf course to open at the Links for more than 100 years.
The new course was opened by the Duke of York on July 2nd, 2008. The first tee shot was hit by Edwin Burtnett, from Tampa, Florida, who won the worldwide competition to name the course which was held in 2006.
"I want to create the flavour of that historic environment". There is a magical point where sea meets the land, it is simply inspiring"
