Like just about everything else in St Andrews, the word 'new'
is something of a misnomer. There is nothing at all 'new' about the
New Course. It was laid out by Old Tom Morris in 1895 and
originally intended as relief course for the Old which was by then
struggling to keep pace with demand. It runs alongside the Old
Course and were it not for its close proximity to the most famous
course in the world the New Course would warrant a much bigger
international reputation than it already owns. Tight fairways lined
by thick gorse and whin, subtle greens and four of the most testing
par three holes in golf are its hallmarks.
