The first course of 6 holes was laid out in 1879 by the venerable Old Tom Morris with another three holes being added in 1910. The other nine weren't added until 1958. Since then, the course has been a favorite venue for various Scottish championships and professional exhibitions. One memorable such exhibition pitted Jack Nicholas against Seve Ballesteros in 1983. This match was to have been played on the Old Course at St. Andrews but, midway through the planning, it was pointed out to the promoter that, on the scheduled day, the University students at St. Andrews had priority on the course and such priorities couldn't be violated.
