St. Andrews Links Courses are located on the east coast of Scotland off of the North Sea. The old course has been around since about 1400 AD. Yeah that's right, golf is almost 600 years old. In 1457 golf was becoming so popular King James II of Scotland banned golf because he felt it was too distracting to young men and kept them from archery practice.
St. Andrews Links is the largest golfing complex in Europe with six 18 hole courses that are all open to the public. These courses are all pristine in condition and the scenery is spectacular.
This is a timeless place that every golf enthusiast, including myself would love to pursue. I love golf because it is the game that cannot be beat. No matter how well you play, there is always room for improvement. There aren't any teammates you can blame for poor performance either. It is all about you against the course. Although it can be very frustrating at times it always beats a day at work and is a great way to bond with friends and the outdoors.
