The Eden Course
____________________________________________

Opened in 1914 and named after the estuary which it borders, The Eden was the fourth course to be built in St Andrews and can be more forgiving than the three links courses lying on the seaward side.

Since 1919, it has played host to the Eden Tournament, one of Britain’s oldest amateur golfing events. Every year, in the second week of August, over 250 golfers play for the Eden Trophy.

Designed by internationally renowned course designer Harry S. Colt, the course uses existing features and a partially buried field boundary wall to give a natural feel. Alterations were completed in 1989 under the direction of course architect Donald Steel and in 2000 a new clubhouse was built.

Par 70 – 6,195 yards.
