Golf's value to St Andrews grows
By Martin Dempster - The Scotsman
Golf brings in £317m annually to St Andrews alone - and here's where it comes from
Figure is the equivalent of Scotland hosting three Open Championships every year.....
Golf's annual economic value in St Andrews is more than £300 million - the equivalent of Scotland hosting three Open Championships every year.
The exact figure of £317m has been revealed as part of new research conducted for St Andrews Links Trust, which runs the seven courses in the Fife town, by the Sport Industry Research Centre at Sheffield Hallam University.
The report calculated the amount visitors spent directly on golf in St Andrews, where The Open will be held for a record 31st time in 2027, as well on hotels, restaurants, bars, shops and local travel providers.
It found the home of golf welcomes an average of 2,000 playing visitors every week, with around 72 per cent coming from overseas and predominantly - 40 per cent, to be precise - from the US.
The report also highlighted just how positively visitors viewed their spend, with 84 per cent indicating they were “likely or very likely” to return in the future.
Neil Coulson, chief executive of St Andrews Links Trust, said: “This is the first such study looking solely at the impact of golf in St Andrews on the town and the wider Scottish economy. It clearly shows the massive impact on the town and that our visitors are delivering a boost to communities across Scotland each and every year. This impact has probably been undervalued in the past.
“The unique place that St Andrews holds as the lifeblood and source of the sport means that both golfers and non-golfers want to come here and experience this place for themselves
Neil Coulson, the chief executive of St Andrews Links Trust, has hailed golf’s ‘massive impact’ on the town | St Andrews Links Trust
“But this only works if we continue to invest in our facilities and in ensuring we strive for excellence in customer experience. The combination is what makes St Andrews Links stand out.”
For every £1 that passes through the tills of St Andrews Links Trust from visitors, an additional £3.43 is generated for other businesses in the town.
Business Minister Richard Lochhead said: "This report hits home the scale of the benefits we all reap from the trust’s courses, alongside the broader impact of golf tourism, which boosts the economy by £300m every year and supports around 5,000 jobs.
“I commend the trust for all it does to sustain and grow the game and I'm looking forward to the return of The Open to St Andrews in 2027, which, backed by Scottish Government funding, will further increase our standing as a first-class host of major events.”
Other Scottish courses attracting St Andrews vistors
The report highlighted how more than half of the visitors to St Andrews in 2023 also played elsewhere, notably at Kingsbarns, Carnoustie Dumbarnie Links and Crail.
Vicki Miller, VisitScotland’s chief executive, said: “This comprehensive study showcases the important role golf plays in Scotland’s visitor economy, with St Andrews standing at the heart of this as a globally-recognised asset.
“Scotland continues to be the destination of choice for golfers worldwide, and beyond the course, our renowned hospitality, culture and heritage offer a truly distinctive and enriching experience for all who visit. We welcome this research, which reinforces Scotland’s reputation as a world-leading tourism and events destination.”
Professor Simon Shibli, from Sheffield Hallam University, added: “Using gold standard methods to interview over 2,400 golfers, our research reveals a significant asset to the Scottish economy, which has arguably not been fully appreciated.
“St Andrews Links Trust is not only a thriving business in its own right, it is also a catalyst for considerable tourism and employment benefits. That the annual economic impact of St Andrews Links Trust is the equivalent of hosting The Open three times a year in Scotland is a truly remarkable finding.”

Brora Golf Club - A Rich History
Brora Golf Club, a James Braid-designed masterpiece, offers a unique golfing experience set against the stunning backdrop of the Scottish Highlands.Founded in 1891, Brora Golf Club has a long and storied history. The original 9-hole course was expanded to 18 holes around 1900. In 1924, renowned golf course designer James Braid was commissioned to redesign the layout. His plans were largely implemented and have remained largely unchanged to this day, providing golfers with a fair and challenging test of true links golf.The outward nine holes follow the contour of Kintradwell Bay, offering stunning views of the Sutherland foothills from Ben Bhraggie to the west and the Ord of Caithness to the northeast. With the exception of the short 6th hole, these holes wind along the coastline, providing a unique and picturesque golfing experience.The inward nine holes follow the fence line of the bordering croft land, with out of bounds to concentrate the mind. Of the two short holes, the delightful 13th, Snake, winds back towards the sea, whilst the 18th contains all the concerns of protecting a score against a bunkered green a two hundred yard carry away and under the scrutiny of the clubhouse windows.With our rich history, stunning scenery, and challenging gameplay, Brora Golf Club offers an unforgettable golfing experience.
