About Kingsbarns Golf Links
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.
- Clubhouse with full catering facilities
- Professional Shop, well stocked with good selection of crested clothing.
- Locker room lounge
- Practice range
- Buggies, Caddies and Electric trolleys available
Our take
A proper test inKingsbarns St Andrews. We know it inside out, and we will tell you straight who it suits.
- Serious golfersYou will relish it. It rewards position over power and punishes the lazy shot. The kind of course that sorts a group out.
- Higher handicapsTake a buggy, play the forward tees, and you will have a fine day. It asks questions, but it is a fair one.
- Societies & groupsA cracking matchplay course, with enough risk and reward to split the field and plenty to argue about over a drink after.
- WalkersA comfortable enough walk if you would rather leave the buggy in the shed.
Tell us who’s coming and how you like to play, and we’ll shape the right trip around you.
