- St Andrew's SECRET Golf Course!
When you think of St Andrews you will think of the Old Course, as where the other golf courses almost feel like a secret of the locals. If you are wanting the St Andrews experience but don't want to pay mega money for one round, these golf courses are the answer for you. They are reasonably priced and just as good of a golfing experience. Matt Fryer Golf plays two of St Andrews lesser known golf courses and gives you his thoughts on value you for money and quality of golf course.

Finally! A video on the other St Andrews courses. Thank you for doing this! I played the Eden and New Course a few years ago when I was at St Andrews, and had an absolute blast! The Eden is still one of my favourite courses in the world!
Awesome! My wife and I played that course a bunch of years back now (time flying away from me) just on a whim. We planned a day in St. Andrew's on our trip around Scotland (from Canada) but did not count on playing golf. We didn't know about the other courses. We just wanted to see the old course and walk around and experience it. Luck would have it the sun was out and we couldn't resist trying to find some golf to play. We found a tee time on this course and rented clubs from the course. It wasn't the old course, but it was an experience of a lifetime.
Played the Eden course in 2012. I was on a sporting holiday from Australia & the way the club staff looked after us with clubs etc was awesome. Loved the course & spent time after having a bit of sightseeing on the old course & around the 1st & 18th taking heaps of pics. Finishing off in town for a well earned meal & some frothies at one of the many pubs.
I went to university up there and my parents retired there too (lucky for me!) so I've played all the courses quite a lot. I have always told people that the Eden is the hidden gem of the 7, particularly if you're a higher handicapper or if you just don't feel like being bullied by the Castle/New/Jubilee! The Old is in its own category though, for obvious reasons.
A real eye opener Matt, I'd play those two courses, when a course is out of your price range there is no shame playing other courses.
Finally a St. Andrews video on my main course absolutely love how ur bringing recognition to the other course 👍
If I come to Warrington I would be proud to offer you a pint (or two). Didn’t realize that there are so many courses to play at St. Andrews and now my chances have risen a lot. Thank you Matt 👍🏼
I was up at St Andrew’s when the Strathtyrum and Balgove were opened I found the Strathtyrum fun and great for practicing long irons off the tee. Course looks to have matured nicely since I left. My favourite course was the New Course followed by the Old then Jubilee. Had a blast at the St Andrew’s Links for 5 years, really improved my game.
Great prices and great courses, can't beat that and the experience of being at St Andrews on just any course is amazing, Thank You for the great insight to other courses people may not hear about at famous venues.
Matt a great video. To many just focus on the Old course and even though I knew there were different courses up there I never seen anyone do a vlog like this one 🥰
How about a couple of similar looks at courses around the North west of England where all the courses like Birkdale, Hillside, Fairhaven, etc are all well over the £100 range. Maybe a mini series of £75 and under.
Regards Col
Closing in on the 150K mark! Glad to see your channel growth. You are definitely a top shelf TH-camr!!!
Thank you, Matt! For me, who lives in Sweden, and wants to one day visit GB to play golf around, this type of video is invaluable. Far too little of a vlog about this. Know that Finch has released similar ones a couple of years ago, but I am one who really wants to get suggestions for hidden "diamonds" that are also affordable!
Eden was £2.50 in 1976 (£16 today) and was a treat!
I literally just came back from St.Andrews - weather was fantastic - played the Jubilee and the Old both in great condition - have played the Eden before which I love but not The Strath - such a wonderful place - had 38 points round The Old and played the last 7 holes in one over - it’s a thrilling place to play golf
Nice one Matt, looks an amazing course and as you say literally yards away from golfing heritage at the Old Course at a fraction of the price. Keep up the great work!
Great vlog Matt - even though weather wasn't great you can still have fun
I live and play in Fife - next time you come up I'd happily caddy for you [even at my age]
Cheers
Great content Matt. Hope you get a million subscribers soon
I agree, played the Jubilee course last week, there's a test of golf.
In 2000 and 2001 I holidayed in St Andrew's both years. Played all the courses (pre kings barns era) and the jubilee was by far my favourite to play and then the New. There isn't a bad course amongst them tho
Always best to hit your first drive in the rough it settles u down 😂😂😂 brilliant
Eden is great, also New course and Jubilee. All good value.
The Eden is my favourite golf course anywhere (and I have played over 300) because I played it at school and now, nearly 70, I play there most weeks. And do try the New next time you are up at St Andrews - its a step up again with many quality holes.
Eden course is a nice fun course. A bit more forgiving but definitely worth playing. It actually has a nice vibe to it because it has its own clubhouse. New and Jubilee are great courses as well.
Great bunch of courses. Castle is my favourite although the new and jubilee are great courses
Loved the video. Thank you! You captured beautiful solace. Some might moan about the weather, but I prefer weather and course obstacles. For me, golf is “me against the course”. The view and a pint with a friend is a great bonus!
Hi. Matt..great video..brought back a lot of memories..I've been lucky enough to play St. Andrews twice..magical place..
In September 2019 I played at the course just outside St. Andrews not far from the Fairmont Hotel.
I was on vacation but did not plan on playing at all. However, when I arrived in St. Andrews I could not resist, so I rented some clubs and set out.
Unfortunately on that day, I was stood up by the threesome assigned to play with me. They left me standing on the first tee after I introduced myself, and to this day I really don't know why. They were Scots, and I suspect that they thought I was American (it was during the Solheim Cup being played at nearby Gleneagles). While they began walking toward the fairway after teeing off, one of them asked how long I had been there 'from America'. I immediate clarified that I was Canadian and that my Mother was born in Inverness. His face went blank and he quickly caught up with the other two. Such was my first taste of Scottish golf.
In any case, on that day the wind was blowing so hard that even the locals were talking about it. Despite playing alone, I made the best of the circumstances. However, my trolley was blown over three times! Eventually I packed things in after 11 holes and went back to the clubhouse.
That said, I look forward to going back. However, I will bring my own playing partners! LOL
That 1st hole at the Eden used to be a nice par 3. The old clubhouse is the golfino shop behind the Old Course Hotel. Changes were made to add length to the road hole and build the new practice facilities
Be fair - the old 1st and 18th on the Eden were poor holes. But the 2nd was one of the best with the railway all down the right side. You then had to cross a full size railway bridge to get to the short 3rd hole... now extended as the 1st on the Eden, played to the same green.
Yes Ben! Yes Matt! Don’t think I haven’t forgot the wedding when we said we’d have a round lads! A round of golf that is not another round!!!
Thanks for the info, Matt. I knew that had one other course, but didn’t know they had several AND fairly cheap. Nice!
Absolute pleasure to watch you swing Matt 👍 so composed
Loving the Mizuno gear.
I'd say one of the cleanest golf logos out there.
wow! what a journey it was being there with you ! i imagine what it would be to actually live the experience in real life! fantastic courses
One day I'll make that flight from the states and play some St. Andrews golf. Look likes loads of fun to be had
Really good to know about these courses and the cost. Cheers Matt
Spot on Matt, I’ve played them all several times and it’s a wonderful place to play golf.
Thank tou so muxh for this Matt, it really beought back some wonderful memories of when I used to play round there on the winter package, The Eden was by far the easiest course (Jubilee being the hardest) , but we used to have so much fun. Thank you again ☺️
Yes Ben! Yes Matt! Don’t think I haven’t forgot the wedding when we said we’d have a round lads!
Your audio is great, what kind of lapel microphone do you use?
My dream vacation, to one play there . Hopefully soon .... thanks for the tips and videos Mr Matt 🙂
Great video Matt. I love the Eden Course. A couple of holes that are out of character (the par 4 and par 3 at the far end around the water hazard) bit the rest is genuine links and very in keeping with St Andrews.
Cool. Never knew there were so many courses. Matt seems like a cool dude.
I hope to go and visit the open next year ! Don’t think any tee times will be available then 😀 Very nice tip tough !
Unlucky with the weather. We’ve only had the occasional grey day. 95% sunny days since March.
Played both in junior matches a wee while ago, both great courses
Love Ben's swing! A little Moe Norman-ish. Hard to hit it offline with that motion. I bet he pockets the pounds with that game! Cheers boys! Fun watch!
What is also not well know is that there is the balgove which is a beginners course. It is short 9 holes and is intended for new players. We took our little granddaughter on there and she loved it. No one pushing you because you are warned play maybe slow. Really good idea.
AND the best putting green in the world - The Himalayas (actually The Ladies Putting Club)
£230 unlimited golf for 3 days on all courses at St. Andrews except the old course= best value in golf
Looks like 2 lovely courses... might take a trip across sometime soon (only 1h15m away!). Facebook keeps spamming me with "The Dukes" promotions. Lovely video. Next time you're up, you should drop off at Gleneagles too - Im right next to it but never had the privilege!
Kings then Queens - a great day out.
Just done the same two courses worth every penny
i played the Eden course excellent great course, great value money wise , great days golfing
That puffa jacket looks the nuts at the start mate. What is it?
You should give the Dukes a go. Really long and lots of bunkers!
Awesome course Vlog
Matt, after becoming a Mizuno guy like your boy Peter, so you feel betrayed he left you solo for titleist? I have both mizuno irons and and titleist irons and drivers. I wouldn’t give up my mizuno irons for a million dollars. I have the mizuno mp20 irons. I am currently playing a titleist tp3 driver extended 2” with a custom x-stiff shaft and lower weighting with and lower weight in the head for a fade bias. I thought about extending my sim driver or tsi3 driver the same length but like the weight bias change the t3 offered more. I have never hit a driver longer or straighter than that t3. I’m almost 6’6 and have back issues. So, the long driver and irons really help with distance and accuracy.
Look up upright health & z/health. They,l help you with your back.
Love your swing tempo.
I think it's about £180 a round at the old course. You could get 4 rounds for that around the other courses!!
Love it matt, love it
Great video
And 14 on the Eden!
Looks a couple of belting courses. Weather is typically Scottish ….. 😲🤔⛳️😃
I would love to golf there
Great video Matt, the Strathtyrum looks great value for money! I have also read about the Balgove. . . Too short a course for you but looks excellent for beginners!
You should go to ashkernish golf course
Looked it up, only get 8 shots lol
Great video as nobody South of the border believes us when we say these things.
PLAY THE NEW COURSE (opened 1895)
Old course should charge a fiver less just to play 1, 17 and 18 - people could hit those key drives and get the photos taken - job done
Great video! I had to cancel my trip to Scotland this month. Ever play Dunbar or Shiskine?
@@daisy6416 WTF?
St Andrews is the place to play golf
Can u play these courses without a handicap
Yes. My wife and I played there on vacation. We aren't handicap golfers, but know how to play. I usually shoot in the 90s and my wife is usually over 110 probably. They didn't even ask. We rented clubs and everything as we didn't expect to play, but just walk about. (Didn't really know about all the other courses before going either)
@@DavidSmith-lo7wf thanks
Can't believe it's £195 for a round on the Old Course! How much is a membership?!😆
That's really cheap for an Open course
Whoo hoo, 1st. Now to watch the video. LOL
