Dumbarnie Links

Dumbarnie Links, just south of St Andrews, is a modern links course designed by Clive Clark that opened in 2020. It sits on 345 acres of sandy terrain with about 1.5 miles of sea frontage on the Firth of Forth, offering panoramic views from elevated tees. The course features three potentially driveable par‑4s, offering a fun risk‑and‑reward challenge plus more than 100 bunkers blending classic links style with modern strategy. Critics praise its routing and variety, noting that the wind shifts direction often due to the holes facing many compass points, making for a true thinking man’s golf course.
