I played Kingsbarns before playing the Old Course at St. Andrews. Playing the Old Course is a mystical experience and you can't really say enough about it. For me, I thought that Kingsbarns was a more r e l a x i n g round. It's a great track with a great layout. The holes are tough but a average golfer can have a great experience with par and birdie within reach if your having a good round. The caddies there are great and worth the money. If your looking to play St. Andrews go to kings barns as well. The views of the North Sea are Fantastic and it's worth the money.
