The Jubilee Course
____________________________________________
Based on a narrow strip of land between the New Course and the sea, the Jubilee was opened in 1897 to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria's accession to the throne.
The course has developed into one of the toughest golfing tests at St Andrews. Extended from 12 to 18 holes in 1905 by David Honeyman, it was updated again by 1946 and then re-designed to championship standard by Donald Steel in 1989. The traditional 'out and back' layout starts and finishes at the Links Clubhouse.
A main feature is the raised tees, which provide exceptional views of the links and challenge golfers' skills in handling the winds which sweep in from the bay.
Par 72 – 6,742 yards.
