St Leonard's School Golf Course, St Andrews, Fife. (1890s)

Course laid out by Tom Morris.

Report on the course from June 1893.

From "Golf" Friday 2 June 1893.

The following reports are taken from the St Andrews Citizen. The first is from the 29 April 1893, the second one is dated 3 June 1893.

"St Leonard's School means to have a private golf course within its own domains. The school is gradually becoming a distinct and a self-contained colony in our Ancient City."

"A short golf course of nine-holes has just been laid out by Tom Morris for St Leonard's School. The green is within the large expanse of private grounds adjoining the school, and is of a suitable description for the game. The distance between the holes, although not so great as on an ordinary driving course, is greater than is usual on putting links."
