  The 2025 St Andrews caddie fee is to rise from £65 to £75 per individual caddie. The St Andrews Links Trust recommends, as a guide, that gratuities begin from £35. Golfers should set aside a minimum of £110 ($135-140) for a caddie round. If the service has been excellent then the tip should reflect this adding another £20+ The St Andrews base caddie fee has been £65 for since 2020/2021. This increase is overdue and mirrors what the majority of real golfers have been paying recently. 2025 caddie fees at other prominent Scottish courses follow: Carnoustie £70 Kingsbarns £70 Dumbarnie £70 Royal Troon £65 North Berwick £70 Royal Dornoch £70 Royal Aberdeen £60 Nairn GC                      £60
