Kingsbarns Golf Course is the most recent addition to Fife's golf coast, and has quickly developed a reputation as one of the finest links courses in Scotland. Being a modern golf course, "the new kid on the block" in St. Andrews golf, Kingsbarns is a course with wider, easier-to-identify landing zones than its older neighbors. The challenge here though is in the greens, which feature a variety of subtle slopes, ridges, tiers and false fronts.
Signature hole-15th
Played around the rocky shores of St. Andrews Bay, the 15th hole is gaining a reputation as one of Scotland's finest par 3s. The 15th is a 185 yard par 3 that can't help but be compared to Cypress Point's glorious 16th. It is certainly one of the most beautiful holes in Fife, which can derail a good ride anytime. Depending on the pin location and the wind, it can be every bit as difficult. The hole is laid out with the North Sea to its right. Except for the extreme left, there is no fairway, rather, the tee shot must carry over water and rocks.

"I'm so glad I signed up with Scotland for Golf while visiting St. Andrews. David, my instructor, was professional, attentive, and an excellent communicator. The facilities at their establishment were top notch. Since coming back home I can already see improvements in my golf game. Highly recommended for locals and tourists alike."
