Live from St. Andrews - The Old Course and Fife

So it starts with the putting course, the ladies Himalaya putting course.

And then you move on to the Balgrove course, which is like a par 30, like 1500 yards.

And then you have the Strath Tyrum course, which I believe is a par 69 course.

And it's probably only 5,500 yards.

And then the three other main ones, like the Jubilee, the New, and the Eden, sit in their own class.

And then the penultimate one of the old course

And I didn't really think too much about them.

And then the more I got to get to know each of these courses, you really start to realize how different they are and how they all have like kind of these different landforms and just styles of golf holes where like the new course in the Jubilee, a lot of the holes sit more on the ground and feel like kind of more of those natural links courses.

And then the eating course has just like these incredible green complexes built by Harry Colt.

And it just feels so different that it's like pretty fascinating that they're only a few hundred yards from each other.

And each of the courses when you're playing them just feel so different.

And the landforms and the way that they look visually from the tee and when you're playing them is so different.

And it honestly was like kind of reminding me of Band and Dunes where you

Like it's all kind of the same area.

It's all, all the courses are on top of each other, but they each have such a strong identity that makes them all like, so worth visiting each one and getting to know each one and play each one.

So that was a big takeaway that I wasn't really thinking about going in about the other courses.

Live from St. Andrews - The Old Course and Fife

Obviously, if you're going to St.

The Fried Egg Golf Podcast
Live from St. Andrews - The Old Course and Fife

Andrews, you're going to be pretty focused on trying to play the old course and, and, and get on that ballot if, if you don't have a tee time secured, but yeah,

There's so many other good times to be had on the golf courses that are right next to the old course.

I mean, and it's on like prime real estate.
