Why it matters
Opened in 1897 as a beginners' course, the Jubilee was rebuilt by Donald Steel in the 1980s into what is, on the right day, the hardest of the seven public courses at St Andrews. It sits along the West Sands closer to the sea than the Old or New, which means the wind off the bay is unrelenting and a missed fairway is genuinely punished. Locals call it the sleeper hit of the rotation.
How to play it
Walking only. Cheaper than the Old and New; tee times are far easier to land. Plays best as a one-loop morning round before the Old Course in the afternoon — the Jubilee softens you up to the wind so the Old Course's back nine doesn't shock you.
