Scottish Open 2024: Course details

The Renaissance Club is the centre-piece of Scotland’s golf coast and is now the permanent home of the Scottish Open.

The course, located between the famous Muirfield and North Berwick Golf Clubs, will play to a par 70 and a maximum yardage of 7,237 yards this year.

Renaissance has a long, tricky start while the finish is a classic mix of an easier par 5 followed by a demanding par 3 and a long par 4.

The short par 3 sixth always provides entertainment as a host of deep pot bunkers await any wayward tee shots.
