Links Course Scotland

Opened in 2000, Kingsbarns Golf Links is a modern Scottish links by Kyle Phillips set on the Fife coast, a short drive from St Andrews. The course was created on land where golf had been played centuries earlier, yet its character is decisively contemporary: broad visual scale, bold shaping and a routing that keeps the sea in view for much of the round. Its extensive coastal frontage gives the holes unusual variety, with exposed seaside stretches set against more sheltered inland ground. 

Kingsbarns is best known as a co-host of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, a role that places it alongside the game’s most recognisable venues in Fife. Ranked No. 22 in the world, it has earned its reputation through presentation, strategic clarity and a layout that asks for imagination rather than brute force. It is polished, expansive and unmistakably modern in golfing terms from the opening tee throughout today.
