Overview
- The St Andrews Links Trust will manage the course under a long‑term lease, with Kohler running it until the January 5 handover.
- The Duke’s Course name will be retired in favor of the Craigtoun Course, referencing nearby Craigtoun Country Park.
- A new logo featuring trees will replace the lion rampant holding a saltire to remove royal imagery.

- Trust chief Neil Coulson said this is the first new course added to the Home of Golf’s portfolio in 18 years and an opportunity to broaden offerings.
