Old Course

Old Course

Due to the Old Course having a large, flat, coastal location, it was an attractive staging ground for an airborne assault. To counter against this, mounds and trenches were dug along the fairways to prevent planes and gliders from landing safely. However, these new ‘cross-hazards’ were strategically positioned to allow for the continued play of golf (The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews had friends in high places).
