Duke’s Course

We used electric trolleys but soon realised there is a fair bit of walking to be done between holes, especially going from the 9th to the 10th tee. Keeps you fit!

Although the weather was nasty, we enjoyed our round because we had buggies and had no trouble playing the course.

The Dukes is a quality championship course , not the easiest golf course but a true test of golf . The course was in excellent condition , with the greens not quite at their best due to the time of year ( end of March ) A delight to play .

I have previously played the dukes and it was interesting to see the changes they have made to the course. The course has fantastic views over St Andrews

Lovely course just felt like it could be laid out a bit better. No signs for the next few box and a few tee boxes were near to others, causing confusion. Each hole played very well with the 17th being my favourite

Owned by The Old Course Hotel, The Dukes Course is only about 7 minutes from the Ardgowan Hotel which was our base for our society golf tour in St Andrews. When you enter the gates you’re properly wowed going up the drive to the course. The scenery is beautiful at the Dukes, with the gorse in full bloom and everything about the place being very grand. The course is a great tree lined layout, which can get pretty testing as it’s quite tight at times and there are some long holes with a lot of gorse. All of the guys in our group loved the course even though some found it tough.
