The Jubilee

1897

The closest of the Links courses to the sea, the Jubilee was built to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria’s accession to the throne. 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 striking feature is the elevated tees, which provide exceptional views of the links and challenge golfers’ skills in handling the winds which sweep in from the bay.

The course has developed into one of the toughest golfing tests at St Andrews and has hosted numerous tournaments including the Scottish Amateur Strokeplay Championship and British Mid-Amateur Championship.
