Duke’s Course

8.4
Very Good See all 34 reviews

The Duke's Course was designed by five-time Open champion Peter Thomson CBE, and has been highly regarded since its opening in 1995. However, with Herb Kohler's takeover of the Old Course Hotel and the Duke's, there has been significant investment, designed to enhance both the layout and the drainage of the course.

The golf course offers a distinctive experience with its picturesque heathland setting, surrounded by mature trees, gorse, and heather. Providing breathtaking panoramic views of St. Andrews town and the beautiful Bay. The strategic layout of the course, incorporating risk-and-reward elements, caters to players of all skill levels across its 18 holes.

Duke's Course

Kohler plans to hold major professional events at the Duke's and the improvements reflect that desire. Played from the tips, this is the longest golf course in Scotland, and it represents the perfect accompaniment to the classic tracks at St Andrews Links.

It is a parkland course, but Kohler has toughened it up, especially the bunkering which is now reminiscent of his other venture, Whistling Straits in Wisconsin, which hosted the 2004 USPGA Championship.

Enjoying magnificent views down over the 'auld grey toon', The Duke's is a remarkable place to play a round at the spiritual home of golf and is a must when on a golf tour of St Andrews.

Lowlight of our trip as course is still undergoing maintenance with hollow tined greens and tracks on fairways. One hole was shortened from par 5 to par 3. Felt like a let down and wasted money!
