The Strathtyrum

The Strathtyrum Course
____________________________________________

Opened in July 1993, the Strathtyrum Course was designed by Donald Steel to provide an enjoyable experience that would complement the tougher championship layouts.

With two loops of nine, starting and finishing at the Eden Clubhouse, there is a links-like feel to the layout without some of the tougher consequences.

Although relatively bunker-free by St Andrews' standards, the 15 that do feature are cunningly placed. Combined with the moundings around the sloping, small greens, they place an emphasis on iron play accuracy. Prevailing westerly winds add to the challenge and make the course play much longer than its published yardage.

Par 69 – 5,620 yards.
