For only the seventh time in 600 years a new course has been named at the Home of Golf - St. Andrews in Scotland. The Castle Course is the latest in the canon of courses led by the world famous Old Course.
The name was decided after a competition attracting more than 4,000 world-wide entries was won by Edwin Burtnett from the USA. The name reflects the history of the headland to the south-east of St. Andrews where Kinkell Castle stood in the Middle Ages.
Mr. Burtnett will be invited to play one of the first rounds on the new course, which opens for play in spring 2008. Designed by David McLay Kidd, a Scot who has gained worldwide renown for his work, the 220 acre public cliff top course will feature five tees catering for all levels of ability.
