I still struggle to see why international visitors are going to spend what will presumably be a lot of money to play an inland course in St Andrews when, within 45 minutes drive, they could be on TOC, the New, the Jubilee, the Eden, Elie, Crail, Lundin, Leven, Carnoustie, Panmure, Kingsbarns, Monifieth……….
The same thing could have been said about Kingsbarns and the Renaissance Club when they were in the planning stage.
To quote a line from the movies, "build it and they will come."
