The Eden Course, St Andrews
About the course
Built in 1914 by Harry S. Colt, the Eden Course helped cope with the high demand for golf at the time. This course offers a shorter and arguably more forgiving play than it’s neighbours. However, it is not without its tricky turns. There are plenty of holes requiring accuracy opposed to a hard hit. Each of the par-three holes on this course are unparalleled. They are often best played when the wind is forgiving.
The course itself is 6250 yards, par 70 and features signature undulating greens, deep bunkers and fairway obstacles. Most notably, the 17th, par-four follows an old railway line and requires precision and accuracy. As well as traditional features, the Eden Course has fantastic sea views and a glorious view of the landscape.
