It's not surprising that St Andrews locals believe the links at Kingsbarns will be added to the Open Championship rota in the future. Only six miles from St Andrews, I agree that Kingsbarns is one of the finest new courses in the world. If you haven't heard of Kingsbarns before, you will know all about it in years to come.
Having converted an old nine-hole course into the magnificent creation took a great deal of imagination and foresight, and the results are almost beyond belief. With the sea visible from every hole, the holes are aesthetically stunning and magnificently designed to ensure ease of play from several tee locations. The greens are undulating and roll fast and true.
The 15th, a par three along the water, is as spectacular a short hole as you will find anywhere. The final hole demands great courage with the final 50 yards being over a valley with a burn waiting below to swallow your ball
A small number of courses are worth raving to your friends about, and this is certainly one of them. You will love it!
