Opened in 1987 by Sir Henry Cotton and widely acclaimed as one
of the premier courses in Scotland, the Old course provides a blend
of tree-lined parkland and open rolling fairways. A constant yet
never extravagant feature is the intelligent use of water on 13 of
the 18 holes. The Old has gained a reputation as one of the
toughest inland courses in Scotland and, with a par 73, water
featuring on most holes and measuring almost 7, 000-yards from the
back tees, this reputation is justified. The stand out holes are
the eighth and the 10th. The eighth hole is a 160-yard par three
which is all carry over water and has been compared to the 12th at
Augusta National. The 10th is a tricky par four with an elevated
tee and a tough second shot over water to the green.
