Kingsbarns extends season by a fortnight
Published: Last updated:
Kingsbarns Golf Links is celebrating a successful tenth anniversary year by extending its season by two weeks.
Recently ranked 15th in the Golf World Top 100, Kingsbarns is staying open two weeks later than previously scheduled, now until November 14 to accommodate increased demand from visiting golfers.
After a bumper season with the Open Championship being held at St Andrews and its staging of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, Kingsbarns is giving golfers more opportunity to play the golf course without any winter restrictions in place.
Stuart McEwen, the General Manager, said: “After a very busy season and another successful Alfred Dunhill Links Championship the course is still in fantastic condition and we want to give visiting golfers as much chance to enjoy it as possible. 2010 has been a tremendous year for Kingsbarns.
“We have celebrated the 10th anniversary of the course opening, hosted the Open Championship Local Final Qualifying and attracted greater numbers of visiting golfers. We want to keep the momentum going before the regular winter break.”
Kingsbarns attracted widespread praise from both the professionals and the amateurs at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.
British actor Hugh Grant said: “”For the middle-aged golf addict like myself, this is like dying and going to golfing heaven. It’s impossible to say which of the three courses is the best but Kingsbarns is probably the prettiest.”
The Hollywood film star Andy Garcia said: “The Kingsbarns Course reminds me a lot of some of the golf courses on the California coastline. There’s one on the Monterrey Peninsula, and Pebble Beach too. I love playing links courses and Kingsbarns is a beautiful design. It looks much more than just 10 years old.”
