A Golfer's Dream: Flat In St Andrews With Own Putting Green On The Market
International buyers have already been in touch with estate agents about unique flat in the Home of Golf

Many golfers dream of owning their own private putting green, many dream of living in a home with rich golfing history, but now one lucky golfer will have both after a rare flat in St Andrews was put on the market.
Occupying a great location at the Home of Golf, barely more than a crunched driver away from the Old Course itself, keen golfers will be queuing up to try and land this prime property.
Offers over £650,000 are being asked for the property which, being so centrally located in the golfing paradise of St Andrews, is bound to be popular with golfers dreaming of being able to sharpen up their stroke on their own putting green before heading out onto the links.
You’d likely hear the roars as the Open champion walked up the 18th on the Old Course before collecting the Claret Jug every five years – so this truly is one of the more rare properties to come onto the market.
“Properties very rarely come up for sale within this area, but it is even rarer to see a property as modern as this hit the market,” says Peter Ryder Thorntons estate agents who are listing the flat.
“That coupled with the chance to own a putting green at the home of golf makes this perhaps one of the most unique properties in Scotland.
“Having a private putting green in the most famous golfing location in the world is dream come true for many golf fans.”

The golfing magic and mystique of St Andrews is renowned around the world, with Ryder also confirming that the flat “has had international interest in it already”.

He is currently freelance and covers the golf majors on the BBC Sport website. Highlights over the years include covering that epic Monday finish in the Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor and watching Rory McIlroy produce one of the most dominant Major wins at the 2011 US Open at Congressional. He also writes betting previews and still feels strangely proud of backing Danny Willett when he won the Masters in 2016 - Willett also praised his putting stroke during a media event before the Open at Hoylake. Favourite interviews he's conducted have been with McIlroy, Paul McGinley, Thomas Bjorn, Rickie Fowler and the enigma that is Victor Dubuisson. A big fan of watching any golf from any tour, sadly he spends more time writing about golf than playing these days with two young children, and as a big fair weather golfer claims playing in shorts is worth at least five shots. Being from Liverpool he loves the likes of Hoylake, Birkdale and the stretch of tracks along England's Golf Coast, but would say his favourite courses played are Kingsbarns and Portrush.
