Kingsbarns is a traditional links style course directly on the seashore: Stretching along 1.5 miles of spectacular seacoast just 6 miles from St Andrews, this traditional links course incorporates the site of the original Kingsbarns Golf Course dating from 1793. Every hole features views of the sea framed by sandy beaches, rocky shoreline or Cambo Ness.

This bridge crosses a stone-lined burn which fronts the 18th green. Truly a unique opportunity to play links golf in its purest form amidst tumbling sand dunes, wee burns, and a most majestic seacoast.
