Scotscraig Golf Club

Very Good See all 1 review

Originally founded in 1813 by members of The Society of St Andrews Golfers, Scotscraig is home to the 13th oldest golf club in the world, and an exceptional golf course. It is more of a cross between links and heathland, but its proximity to the sea ensures it is buffeted by the coastal winds.

With Scotscraig being a Final Open Qualifying venue, it allows for a fabulous test of golf. The course designed by Old Tom Morris, later refined in 1923 by James Braid has benefited from recent investment and careful restoration, enhancing its conditioning and playability, ensuring it meets modern expectations without losing its heritage.

Scotscraig Golfing Club

Scotscraig offers a unique Scottish golfing experience, as a timeless links course with heathland characteristics, where recent significant investment has led to thoughtful rejuvenation to suit today’s modern golfer.

Founded in 1817 by some members of the St. Andrews Society of Golfers (later to become the Royal and Ancient Golf Club) who wished to play more golf than the Society's occasional meetings afforded them, Scotscraig offers visitors an immersive experience in true golfing history, from the course to the Trophy Room in the 130-year old clubhouse.

The Scotscraig Gold Metal was established in 1818 and remains one of the oldest amateur medals still played for in the world, while in 1923, the course was redesigned with the assistance of James Braid, and though the course has been carefully modernised for today’s game, it still retains the original architectural intent.

This six-time Open Qualifying venue and host of the Scottish PGA Championship in 2023 and 2025 has long challenged the true greats of the game, including Sam Torrance, Jack Nicklaus, and Justin Rose.
