Widely acknowledged as one of Scotland’s best 9 hole courses, Anstruther Golf Course is also home to one of the toughest Par 3s.

Anstruther is a popular destination for golfers looking for something different – and keen to take on the challenge of the course’s trio of challenging Par 3s, starting with the 5th (the infamous Rockies), voted the UK’s toughest par 3 in 2007 by Today’s Golfer.

Stretching along the shoreline between Anstruther and Pittenweem, when it opened in 1890, Anstruther Golf Course was a 7 hole course. The course and its clubhouse both have spectacular views over Anstruther Harbour, across to the Isle of May and towards Edinburgh, with Anstruther Golf Club proudly offering a warm ‘Anster’ welcome to all.

Johnny Doo

HOLE 1 PAR 4. S.I. 17/9

The opening drive is a long uphill shot. The longer hitter will hope to make the brow of the hill, but most will have to settle for a position on the slope leaving a short blind second with a bunker to the right hand side of the green.

what golfers say

“ A visit (to Anstruther) would be worth it just to play the Rockies, which was once voted the toughest par 3 in the UK, but its overall mix of holes and also its location make it somewhere that needs to be ticked off that list sooner rather than later. ”

Martin Dempster, The Scotsman
