He has already been stripped of his Royal and honorary military titles – and now a golf course named after the former Prince Andrew is set for a rebrand.

The Duke’s Course at St Andrews will be renamed the Craigtoun Course, taking its new identity from the nearby country park.

The change comes after the King’s brother lost his titles and honours amid ongoing controversy surrounding his association with child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Andrew, now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, was stripped of the styles ‘His Royal Highness’ and ‘Prince’ in October, a move formalised through letters patent – a legal document authorised by the King. 

He has also lost the Duke of York title, which has been removed from the Roll of the Peerage.

Andrew – who opened the Duke’s Course in 1995 – has since surrendered his honorary membership of the club as part of his withdrawal from public life following the Epstein scandal.

It has now been confirmed that the course and club will come under new management through a long-term lease with the St Andrews Links Trust. 

The trust already oversees seven public courses across Fife, including the world-famous Old Course, which hosts the Open Championship every five years.

Rebranding the Duke’s Course brings it into line with its sister courses – Strathtyrum, Eden, Balgove and Castle – all named after local landmarks or place names. 

The club’s logo will also be updated to remove its royal associations. Its current emblem – a lion rampant holding a saltire flag – will be replaced with a depiction of trees.

The new arrangements will take effect from January 5.

Until then, the Duke’s Course will continue to be operated by golf resort company Kohler. St Andrews Links Trust chief executive Neil Coulson said the organisation is ‘delighted’ about the transition.

He said: ‘The agreement for The Craigtoun Course will see the first new course added to the Home of Golf’s portfolio in 18 years and presents an ideal opportunity to expand the golf experiences we offer.

‘We are delighted to have reached agreement with the Old Course Hotel and look forward to taking over what is already a significant asset for St Andrews and Scotland and building on its reputation.

‘Demand for golf in St Andrews has risen to unprecedented levels in recent years.

‘The Craigtoun Course allows us to offer additional capacity and strategically invest in our facilities to offer more opportunities to play golf.’
