Anstruther Golf Club

Anstruther, Fife, United Kingdom

Anstruther Golf Club was established on November 3rd, 1890, initially as a 7-hole course before expanding to 9 holes in 1893. Located 9 miles from St Andrews in Fife, Scotland, the club offers a distinctive golfing experience for visitors to the area. The course is characterized by its challenging layout, most notably featuring "The Rockies," a par 3 hole that was voted the toughest par 3 in the UK by Today's Golfer in 2007. This signature hole remains one of the most difficult on the course, having challenged professional golfers including DP Tour pro Andrew "Beef" Johnston and television personalities Andrew Cotter. The course's demanding nature is a defining characteristic that sets it apart from other layouts in the region. Set on the Fife coast with views across the water, Anstruther Golf Club provides a scenic and testing golfing environment. The club maintains an active competition schedule throughout the year and regularly hosts qualifying events, including the Sir Nick Faldo Futures event. The course is accessible to both members and visiting green fee players, making it a popular destination for golfers seeking a challenging alternative to the more famous courses nearby.
