Dumbarnie Links

Dumbarnie Links, just 11 miles south of St Andrews opened for play in 2020 and is one of Scotland's newest major golf courses.  The course was founded and designed by renowned course architect and former Ryder Cup player, Clive Clark.

The par 72 course can stretch to more than 7,600 yards from its tournament tees, although the regular back tees play closer to 7,000 yards. Wide fairways provide golfers with several strategic options while large undulating greens, strong coastal winds and carefully positioned bunkers reward good course management. The course also features three potentially drivable par-4s that present the golfer with many risk-and-reward opportunities.

Despite its young age, Dumbarnie is already ranked 28th in Scotland by Top 100 Golf Courses. Its biggest professional event to date was the 2021 Women's Scottish Open.
