The St Andrews golf course named after the former Prince Andrew is to be rebranded. The Duke’s Course, which is three miles from the centre of the Fife town, will become the Craigtoun Course, after a nearby country park. ‌

A heathland course unlike the links which dominate the home of golf, the Duke’s was opened by Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in 1995. He later became captain of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club, which is based in St Andrews . ‌

Andrew has given up his honorary membership, as part of his retreat from public life in the wake of the scandal about his close friendship with the paedophile and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein . The course and club are also to come under the management of the St Andrews Links Trust on a long-term lease. ‌
