Characteristics
Scotscraig Golf Club was founded in 1817 by some members of the St. Andrews Society of Golfers (later to become the Royal and Ancient Golf Club) who wished to play more golf than the Society's occasional meetings afforded them.
Legends at Scotscraig
Follow in the footsteps of some of the legends that have played Scotscraig.
From the early 1800s to the modern day, Scotscraig Golf Club has been graced by the visit of some of the greats of the game, Braid, Locke, Nicklaus, Norman as well as Sam Torrance, past Ryder Cup Captain.
Open Championship
The Club has hosted The Open Championship Qualifying over the last twenty years and it was testament to the quality of the course, that The Royal & Ancient Golf Club bestowed this honour on Scotscraig through the years.
In the past qualifying rounds such golfers who have graced the club are past Masters winner Larry Mize, Argentinean Edwardo Romero, American Duffy Waldorf, England's Justin Rose and past British Amateur Champion, Peter McEvoy.
Scotscraig Golf Club have so much history and is proud of all the fantastic landmarks connected with the club, some of these are:
- The 13th Oldest Golf Club in the World
- Championship course , designed under the guidance of Tom Morris & James Braid
- A unique mix of Heathland & Links
- A 6 time former Open Qualifier venue (1984-2010)
- Gold Medal, which started in 1818, is one of the oldest medals still played for in golf
- 120 year old clubhouse, opened in 1896
- Celebrating its Bicentenary in 2017 (200 years old)
This was used as a final qualifying course when the Open was played at St Andrews. Although close to the sea, there is something of a heathland nature to Scotscraig with more trees in evidence than on most links golf courses. Ideally situated 15 minutes from St Andrews and 20 minutes from Carnoustie.
Qualifying venue for the 2018 Seniors Open Championship.

Terrible Condition
Reviewed March 14, 2020
Do not pay £75 to play this course. The greens are awful and the general condition is very poor.

Claim and reality
Reviewed May 15, 2025
We wanted to play a course near St. Andrews that was affordable but still had a touch of class. That's when we came across Scotscraig. The regular green fee was £110, but after 4 p.m. it was only £40. Plus, competitions were already being played here, such as the qualifiers for The Open. So we booked directly on the club's website and even treated ourselves to a cart for an extra £30.
It's not a pure links course; there are far too many trees for that. But in dry conditions, it does play a bit like a links course. With winds of 20-30 km/h, this also played a role. The greens were very good, but unfortunately the fairways were mostly yellow and very hard in places. The layout is fairly conventional, and with the white being around 6,000 m, it was also the longest course we've played in Scotland this time. After a bit of settling in, I got along quite well and was able to score a good result. Overall, however, the course doesn't exude much class at the moment, and the clubhouse is almost shockingly outdated and could desperately use a bit of sprucing up.
I honestly don't see why £110 would be appropriate here. But for £40, it's a solid 4 stars.

One of the oldest clubs, but rather so
Reviewed September 19, 2018
Despite the title of being one of the oldest golf clubs in Scotland, it was not worth it. Played 7.9.18. Rather bad condition and rather boring to play. It's not worth it.
