The Jubilee Course, St Andrews
The Jubilee Course is the third championship course and the most challenging. Despite this, it was originally built in 1897 for beginners and women. However, after enjoying the proximity to the New Course and the sea, they converted it to a championship course. It’s called the Jubilee Course because the grand opening was on Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee.
The course now has 18 holes, 6742 yards and par 72. The par four 15th hole is the one to look out for. It requires an accurate drive to a narrow fairway followed by a partially blind shot to a green. It has one gorse free side but it otherwise gorsed in. It’s at threat from erosion, so it’s best to keep an eye on your footing.
