Craigtoun Course

Played from the tips, this is the longest golf course in Scotland, and it represents the perfect accompaniment to the classic tracks at St Andrews Links.

It is a parkland course, but Liddy has toughened it up, especially the bunkering which is now reminiscent of his other venture, Whistling Straits in Wisconsin, which hosted the 2004 USPGA Championship.

Enjoying magnificent views down over the 'auld grey toon', the Craigtoun Course is a remarkable place to play a round at the spiritual home of golf and is a must when on a golf tour of St Andrews.

Lowlight of our trip as course is still undergoing maintenance with hollow tined greens and tracks on fairways. One hole was shortened from par 5 to par 3. Felt like a let down and wasted money!
