The Home of Golf
Every golfer has heard of the Old Course at St Andrews, with its iconic view across the Swilken Bridge to the R and A clubhouse (right) - but within an hour's drive of Barnhay you can find some forty wondeful courses.The St Andrews Links Trust runs a super website at
www.standrews.org.uk/
Some achieve the giddy heights (and prices) of Golf Digest's Top 100: four of the St Andrews courses (Old, New, Jubilee and the two-year old Castle Course) plus the spectacular Kingsbarns (left) and the challenging Carnoustie.www.carnoustiegolfclub.com

Some have an age to rival St Andrews (Crail GS - right - is the second oldest golfing society in Scotland, Ladybank was laid out by Tom Morris).
Some are of a standard to host Open Final Qualifying (Ladybank, Lundin Links, Leven etc). www.crailgolfingsociety.co.uk

Some have amazing features and legends like the standing stones at Lundin Ladies (left).
The St Andrews Golf Academy will hone even the best players game with the most modern equipment and seasoned professionals, while the Himalayas putting green beside the Links clubhouse is a must for all members of the family.
