The Craigtoun is St Andrews’ only championship heathland course, set on the historic Mount Melville estate with sweeping views over the town and the coast. Five-time Open Champion Peter Thomson designed it, and architect Tim Liddy enhanced it in 2006.
- Established: 1995
- Holes: 18
- Length: 6,868 yards
- Par: 71
It is the longest course in the group and away from the links, so it brings variety to a week of seaside golf. It has also hosted major amateur championships.
