Leven L<strong>in</strong>ks<br />
The championship course at Leven has been used many times as one of<br />
the local f<strong>in</strong>al qualify<strong>in</strong>g courses when The Open Championship<br />
was played at St Andrews between 1978 and 2005.<br />
A true sea-side l<strong>in</strong>ks, with the sea visible from almost every hole, Leven<br />
L<strong>in</strong>ks is <strong>in</strong> part one of the oldest pieces of golf<strong>in</strong>g ground <strong>in</strong> the world,<br />
with golf traced back to 1846.<br />
It is known that Tom Morris was <strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> the extension to 18 holes,<br />
which took place <strong>in</strong> 1868. The <strong>in</strong>augural competition over 36 holes played<br />
on Oct 2nd, 1868 was won by “Young Tom” Morris with a score of 170.<br />
It reta<strong>in</strong>ed its layout until 1909 when pressure of players forced a division<br />
at the Mile Dyke. Lund<strong>in</strong> L<strong>in</strong>ks GC extend<strong>in</strong>g the eastern section and the<br />
Leven clubs tak<strong>in</strong>g over the football ground north of the bowl<strong>in</strong>g green,<br />
decant<strong>in</strong>g the play<strong>in</strong>g ladies to a new ladies course and rent<strong>in</strong>g further<br />
ground north of the then railway l<strong>in</strong>e.<br />
The strength of Leven L<strong>in</strong>ks is <strong>in</strong> its succession of ‘less easy’ holes and the<br />
fact that one turns at the 13th <strong>in</strong>to the prevail<strong>in</strong>g west w<strong>in</strong>d with a lot of<br />
work still to be done. The 18th hole is reckoned to be one of the f<strong>in</strong>est<br />
f<strong>in</strong>ish<strong>in</strong>g holes <strong>in</strong> golf.<br />
Alterations have been made <strong>in</strong> early 2000 to counteract technology.<br />
New strategically placed bunkers mean that golfers need to manage<br />
their game.<br />

Peterhead<br />
<strong>Golf</strong> Club<br />
Experience one of the<br />
f<strong>in</strong>est l<strong>in</strong>ks courses <strong>in</strong><br />
<strong>Scotland</strong>. CRAIGEWAN<br />
LINKS FOUNDED 1841<br />
Set <strong>in</strong> the breathtak<strong>in</strong>g dunes of the North East of <strong>Scotland</strong>, Peterhead<br />
is the 18th oldest golf club <strong>in</strong> the world and certa<strong>in</strong>ly one of the best.<br />
Among the dunes and across the Craigewan l<strong>in</strong>ks the course is a<br />
classic example of Scottish seaside golf at it’s best - and the toughest!<br />
Peterhead <strong>Golf</strong> Club was established <strong>in</strong> 1841. The current 18 hole<br />
layout “Craigewan L<strong>in</strong>ks” began as a 9 hole course <strong>in</strong> 1892, designed<br />
by Willie Park Jnr a dual w<strong>in</strong>ner of the Open Championship, and was<br />
extended to 18 holes <strong>in</strong> 1908. A second 18 hole course was established<br />
<strong>in</strong> 1923, however today it exists as a 9 hole course, appropriately<br />
named the “New Course”.<br />
Take the opportunity to come and play the course and enjoy the warm<br />
and friendly atmosphere of the club.<br />
