THE ULTIMATE OPEN EXPERIENCE TEE TIMES FRIDAY AFTERNOON ST. ANDREWS - JUBILEE COURSE The third championship course at the Home of Golf, the Jubilee is considered by many to be the most challenging course on the famous Links. Built in 1897, it was originally intended for use by ladies and beginners; however, after seeing its prime golfing location between the New Course and the sea, the Jubilee was converted to a championship layout in 1988. MONDAY AFTERNOON CARNOUSTIE Generally regarded as the toughest of the Open venues, for those who understand the game a little more will know it is probably the fairest too. Without doubt though Carnoustie Championship Course has the toughest closing stretch of holes anywhere and those finishing the final four holes with no more than a bogey should be suitably content with their play.
