Kingsbarns Golf Links is special indeed. The warm hospitality, hearty handshake of the first tee starter and the superb quality of this immaculate golf course make a day here a day to remember. Kyle Phillips designed this Top 100 Ranked golf course and by setting it in an amphitheatre along the coast, nearly every hole boasts spectacular views of the North Sea. Every year Kingsbarns joins the Old Course, St Andrews and Carnoustie Golf Links as a co-host of the European Tour’s prestigious Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.

Our take
Co-hosting alongside the Old Course and Carnoustie every year tells you where Kingsbarns stands; Kyle Phillips built a modern links that earned its Top 100 ranking honestly.
Serious golfersNearly every hole plays against the North Sea and the wind makes full use of that. The 12th and the 16th are the round-wreckers; walk off either with par and you have played properly.
Higher handicapsFor all the reputation it is a flat, friendly walk, under 60 metres of climb all day. Into the sea breeze take one club more than you believe and your score will thank you.
CouplesA day out as much as a round: the handshake from the starter on the first tee, sea views on nearly every hole, and a pace that suits savouring it.
