The Eden was officially opened on Thursday, July 2, 1914 by Mrs Herkless, the wife of the town provost, who hit the ceremonial first drive. It was the fourth course to be built at St Andrews Links reflecting the growing demand for ply on its sisters, the Old, the New and the Jubilee.<br><br> Harry S Colt, whose other designs included Hoylake, Pine Valley, Sunningdale and Wentworth, was commissioned to design the course. His layout challenged golfers with severe bunkering, undulating greens and many carries off the tee to reach the fairways.<br> <br> By the year 1913 the pressure for play on the Old, New and Jubilee courses was such that a fourth course was required.
