Scottish Retreat, American Style

The Links Trust, which operates the Old Course, maintains five other, far more accessible courses. In addition, golfers can play the Dukes course, built in the last decade by Australian Peter Thomson, or the new Kingsbarns links, just down the road from St. Andrews Bay.
This is another American-financed and designed project that has introduced the concept of "upscale, daily-fee" golf to Scotland. Kingsbarns is a modern links-style course that perfectly captures the flavor and feel of old-style Scottish golf, and the views from almost every hole are stunning. At the end of the round, the modern clubhouse provides the perfect place for those old American post-round standbys: a cheeseburger and cold beer.
The choices are almost endless for truly authentic links golf: the tough links at Carnoustie are just a half hour away across the Firth of Tay, and the scenic, recently updated Balcomie links of the Crail Golf Club, and the Open qualifying courses of Elie and Lundin links are short drives.
For a golf-centric executive retreat that renews the spirit, comforts the body, and reveals the character, few places possess more character, finer comforts, or more lively spirit than St. Andrews Bay.
