St Andrews Links Green Fees for 2001

Following the Links Management Committee's annual review, new green fees for the six St Andrews Links courses will come into operation on 1 April 2001.

A single round on the Old Course in the high season (1 April-31 October 2001) will be £85 (up from £80). The high season green fees for the New Course will rise from £40 to £42 (adult) and from £20 to £21 (under 16s); for the Jubilee Course the fees will rise from £35 to £37 (adult) and from £17 to £18 (under 16s); for the Eden Course the fees will rise from £25 to £28 (adult) and from £12 to £14 (under 16s); for the Strathtyrum the fees will rise from £17 to £18 (adult) and from £8 to £9 (under 16s). The fees will also rise on the Balgove from £7 to £10 (adult) and from £2 to £3 (under 16s).

"The new green fees take account of inflation and the cost of our continued drive to improve the condition of the courses and the standard of facilities at St Andrews," said Alistair Nicoll, Chairman of the Links Management Committee.

High season period tickets for all courses except the Old will rise from £87 to £95 for an adult for three days and from £180 to £190 for seven days. The Under 16s prices will be £47 (from £43) for three days and £95 (from £90) for seven days. The prices for high season period tickets for the Balgove Course only will stay the same ie £18 (adult) and £5 (under 16s) for the three day ticket and £36 (adult) and £10 (under16s) for seven days.
