The most spectacular courses in the British Isles
4. Kingsbarns
Fife, Scotland
This course was built to thrill and it hits the spot repeatedly. There is a sea view from all 18 holes, thanks to the terraced nature of the design, which slopes down towards the sea. The real show-stopping moments come at the 12th and 15th, with the later calling for a daring tee shot over the rocks.
