The St Andrews Pilgrim Foundation
About us and our charity
Our existence is due to an initiative in 1998 of the late Patrick Cassells to have a
representative body to raise funds to conserve for the benefit of the public the amenities
and historic character of the town of St Andrews. Fife Council, The Royal and Ancient
Golf Club of St Andrews and the University of St Andrews provided the seedcorn
funding to enable us to begin our fundraising.

• We are a charity registered in Scotland, based in St Andrews, the home of golf.
• Our aims are the upkeep and restoration of our historic town for the enjoyment of
everyone.
• With the support of our sponsors we put together magnificent golf packages, usually
for 4 people spread over a week, which we auction on the internet.
• These packages include luxury accommodation, several rounds of golf on famous links courses such as the Old Course, Carnoustie and Kingsbarns and transport throughout
the visit. They include several exclusive privileges that money simply cannot buy and
are designed to show off all the delights of the Home of Golf.
In the words of our Honorary President Sir Michael Bonallack OBE, former Secretary of
the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews and one of golf’s foremost
ambassadors: .............
“St Andrews is not only the home of golf but home to the UK’s third oldest university
and trustee of many historic landmarks. It is vital that we and future generations preserve this unique heritage for the benefit of all. You will see in this pamphlet just how
the money we raise, all of it, goes towards helping to achieve this aim. We are assisted
by many munificent supporters without whose help we would not exist and it is my
privilege here publicly to thank them. I hope you, as
resident, student, or visitor find what we do commendable
and worthy of your support.”

Old Course
6721 yards, par 72
Carnoustie
6941 yards, par 72
The Old Course St Andrews is surely the Mecca of the golfing world. Golf has been played here
for over six centuries on a course that wasn’t architect designed, but rather has evolved
over time out of the natural terrain. Starting and finishing in the town, it is renowned for its huge
double greens meaning that a golfer may face a 100 yard putt, compact shared fairways, and
massive bunkers (of which there are 112). The 17th hole is often voted the toughest par 4 in golf,
with the tee shot having to cut over part of the famous hotel, whilst the Road Hole bunker and the
road itself await any loose shot into the green. A definite on any visiting golfer’s itinerary, this
famous course has hosted the Open Championship on 29 occasions, with the most recent being
in 2015.
While celebrated as one of the great venues in championship golf, Carnoustie must also be
regarded as one of the most demanding. This is a tough golf course that few have tamed
and it is often described as Scotland’s ultimate golfing challenge. Carnoustie is truly a great test
for the able golfer and it is neither for the novice nor the faint hearted, although everyone who
loves and enjoys the game will marvel at its intricacies. It is simply a ‘must’ for the avid player;
as Hogan said, ‘No player’s experience can be complete without playing Carnoustie’. Fashioned
by Old Tom Morris in 1857, and extended by James Braid in 1926, Carnoustie has played host
to several Open Championships.

Muirfield
7245 yards, par 72
Home of the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers
One of the oldest clubs in golf and its world famous course from its first beginnings in Leith in
1744 to its later move to Musselburgh and finally in 1891 to Muirfield in East Lothian.
Today Muirfield is a renowned host to major championships amateur and professional,
international and national, men and ladies - all of which have produced worthy champions.
Eleven Amateur Championships have been played over the course and 16 Open Championships.
With the exception of the Championship tees, the course has changed little since 1936 but, in
2008, in conjunction with the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews, golf architect Martin
Hawtree was commissioned to advise the Club on how best to ensure Muirfield remains a
challenge to the world’s great golfers.
Kingsbarns
7210 yards, par 72
Six miles south of St Andrews lies Kingsbarns, one of the last true links to be developed in
Scotland. In fact, Kingsbarns’ golf origins go back some 200 years when it was home to a
nine hole course and golf club. The new revival is heralded as a truly spectacular and worthy
addition to the legendary St Andrews portfolio. Embracing the sea as it does, the layout is
superb with each hole offering a great sea view, and seven of them actually playing over or
alongside the sea. The course design provides great variety and presents a stiff golfing
challenge balanced by generous greens and wide fairways. Kingsbarns blends together all the
advantages of a modern course with the traditional features of an old links course.

Jubilee Course
6742 yards, par 72
New Course
6625 yards, par 71
Originally opened on Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee in 1897 and designed for ladies and
children, the Jubilee Course underwent a re-design by Donald Steel in 1988 and is now reputed to
be the toughest of the St Andrews championship links. Created on a narrow strip of land
between the sea and the New Course, the raised tees provide great views but also expose golfers
to prevalent winds, which sweep in from the bay. Any golfer visiting St Andrews should play at
least one round of golf on the challenging Jubilee Course.
Designed by Old Tom Morris and opened in 1895, this is hardly a ‘new’ course! It is, in fact, a
classic links course and a first-class golfing challenge. With the traditional out and back layout,
the New is characterised by well-designed greenside and fairway bunkers, and tough homeward
holes. Although overshadowed by its illustrious neighbour, the New Course is a must play for any
golfer visiting the town of St Andrews.

Castle Course
67 yards, par 71
Designed by David McLay Kidd and opened to the public in the summer of 2008, the Castle
Course is the newest addition to the St Andrews portfolio. Situated on the east side of the
town, the course offers spectacular views of the famous old town of St Andrews, St Andrews Bay
and over towards Carnoustie. The course takes its name from Kinkell Castle, which, five hundred
years ago, stood on a headland two miles southeast of the town centre where the new layout
begins. The Castle Course offers golfers an excellent alternative to playing the older, more
traditional courses when visiting St Andrews.
