The  New Course at St. Andrews is a real test with many challenging holes at the far end of the course near the Eden Estuary. Although it is named the new course it is well over 100 years old designed by Old Tom Morris. It is an undulating course similar in characteristics to the Old Course. Were it not for the proximity of its more illustrious neighbour, there is no doubt that many Open Championships would have been played on this course. The layout was based on the traditional out and back routing, among its most famous features are its shared fairways and a double green at the 3rd & 15th holes.
