This six-time Open Qualifying venue and recent PGA Championship host blends links and heathland, requiring precision and thoughtful strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Founded in 1817 by members of The Society of St Andrews Golfers, Scotscraig remains the oldest course still owned and played by its founding club. It was originally laid out by championship golfer Davie Robertson and later refined by Old Tom Morris and James Braid. The Gold Medal, first played in 1818, is among the oldest competitions still contested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SOCIETY OFFERS 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spring (up to 30th April) &#8211; \u00a3125<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Summer (1st May-30th October) \u00a3225<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seasonal offer: None<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Scotscraig Golfing Club<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Par: 71<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yardage: 6313<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Slope Rating: 125<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Course Rating: 71.5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scotscraig was originally laid out by Old Tom Morris, with later refinements from James Braid. While the course has been thoughtfully updated to suit the modern game, it remains true to its original architectural vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is a course with a distinctive identity, combining elements of traditional Scottish links and heathland golf to create a fair yet demanding challenge. The greens, when conditions permit, run firm and fast, placing a premium on precision. One standout is the 4th hole, Westward Ho, where a raised knoll green showcases an early example of design that would go on to influence classic strategic principles in golf architecture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scotscraig Golfing Club has a continuous competitive history and has played a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":5062,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"tags":[85,86],"listing_region":[11],"listing_category":[23,39],"class_list":["post-5061","listing","type-listing","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-scotscraig","tag-scottish-golf","listing_region-scotland","listing_category-food","listing_category-food-served"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.8.1 -
