St Andrews Links, Jubilee Course
A guide to the Jubilee Course and facilities
Key information:
The Jubilee opened in 1897 to celebrate Queen Victoria’s diamond jubilee, and is set on a sliver of land between the New Course and the sea. It was originally intended for use by ladies and beginners; however, after seeing its prime golfing location between the New Course and the sea, the Jubilee was converted to a championship layout by Donald Steel in 1988.
It has all the exacting and dramatic characteristics of the other St Andrews links, going out alongside the Eden Estuary to the left and back with the first view of the town from the tenth tee. Elevated tees allow perfect vision of the gorse, pot bunkers and some narrow landing targets.
At 6742 yards, par 72 many consider it to be the toughest test of golf at St Andrews.
Facilities:
- Clubhouse with Tom Morris Bar & Grill restaurant and Links Clubhouse Shop
- Practice facilities available at the St Andrews Links Academy, a short walk from the Eden Clubhouse. It has 60 flood-lit bays, 22 indoor bays, short game area and Toptracer Range.
- Showers, drying facilities, lockers
- Free parking
