Scotland 2016 - St. Andrews Jubilee Course

As our April-timeframe trips to Scotland and St. Andrews came about, we always have played The Jubilee Course.

As a player begins play on the Jubilee, he/she should not be misled by the start (wide 1st fairway and not a long starting hole). The course is filled with challenging links golf-holes and will always be on our "must play" list.

This Web page is, for now, just a holding place for 2016's photos that I select for later-on merging with photos selected from the 2014 April trip.

Following, is a work-in-progress selection of photos of the Jubilee Course during our April 2016 trip to St. Andrews.

If you have a birdie at The Jubilee - It well may be here! If you can stay out of the bushes...

7th Tee Par-4, 341 (329) yds.

9th Tee Par-3, 182 (139) yds.

A new (the present, shown in this photo) green location was opened in 2014. Prior to that, the green was on the top left part of the green-area shown, below. (Quite near the 10th tee).

14th Tee Par-4, 423 (Par-5, 415) yds.

A wonderful driving hole - with a very-fair green at the end (a shared-green with the Jubilee 4th).

15th Tee Par-4, 346 (341) yds.

A positional-driving hole. The "ditch" area before the uphill green will require some of us to lay-up before the ditch with the second shot. Longer hitters may want to hit a 3-wood off the tee. If you don't drive 'straight" on this hole, the mounds and bushes come quickly into play... and, you might not enjoy this golf hole! I always enjoy it... I am on vacation!
