St Andrews Links
For more than 600 years St Andrews Links, much like the game of golf itself, has evolved. Today more than 230,000 rounds are played over our seven public courses. The Links manages a number of additional facilities including a golf academy, three clubhouses and four shops. St Andrews Links is a very diverse business and the team work hard to deliver an exceptional experience for everyone. We employ around 300 people in the peak season, making us one of the largest employers in St Andrews. We are a charitable trust and throughout our unique history the focus of the Links has remained on nurturing the game here in St Andrews, ensuring our golf courses are open to all, managing the courses in a sustainable way and providing free golf to the children of the town through our junior golf programme, SALJGA. We proudly represent this place every day, helping to share our values both at home and abroad through the St Andrews Links brand. Over time, like the living landscape on which the Links stands, St Andrews Links has evolved into a brand which is recognised around the world, transcending language and culture, generating passion and admiration across generations young and old alike. Today the St Andrews Links brand mirrors the unique place and status it holds in the game of golf, synonymous with a cherished set of values steeped in history, which remain as prevalent today as they were 600 years ago.
