Drumoig is a new 7,017 yard course over natural free draining and rolling countryside, incorporating the most extensive training area designed by the Scottish Golf Union for National Training, plus unique lodge - hotel - clubhouse arrangement providing a relaxed environment and offering the golfer surroundings second to none.
Drumoig's golf layout is wholly natural over sandy based ground in rolling terrain with no real climbs. The views are truly spectacular with St. Andrews Bay and town seen to the south and Carnoustie to the north east. There are further scenic views to the north and the north west with the hills of Angus and Perthshire quite breathtaking in the distance. On a clear day you can see some of the famous Munro peaks to the west.
The features that will draw golfers to Drumoig are the water holes and the rather unusual and magnificent quarry greens. The demanding range of holes make scoring a real joy. With extensive tree planting and a five year plan of improving all aspects of the course we are ensuring that Drumoig is going to be a place to play in Scotland. Centrally situated it enables the golfer to use Drumoig as a base to play other championship courses in the area i.e. St. Andrews, Carnoustie, Rosemount, Downfield, Ladybank, Scotscraig, Crail, The Dukes and Lundin Links all lying approximately thirty minutes from Drumoig.

Again this is a course I play a lot over the winter with my mates, it's quite a long course but don't let that put you off. It has everything you would expect including a few holes with water hazards, holes 9,10 & 11.
The course is a good track and if your on your game you can score well, my best round here was a 74 (2 over par) but don't be fooled by the course as it can bite back and punish you, for higher handicap players you should be pleased with a round in the high eighties to mid nineties.
With USPGA greens it makes the course very tricky so your approach shot is of ultimate importance as you could easy 3 put every green.
My good friend "The Spider" has yet to master this course and he has played it a lot more tham I have but maybe one day he will get the better of it (not for the want of trying)
