Forgan House, The Links and 5 Pilmour Links, and The Old Course Shop, The Links, St Andrews

Forgan House, The Links and 5 Pilmour Links, and The Old Course Shop, The Links, St Andrews, is a group of three interlinked two-storey properties built in the mid to late 19th century, with later alterations. They are prominently located on sloping ground and originally served as a golf club factory, later becoming a mill shop and golf club facilities. The block at the rear was constructed as a wood drying shed and was converted to golf club facilities on the first floor between 2000 and 2002. The exterior is rendered and painted stone.

The north elevation, facing The Links, was remodelled by architects Gillespie and Scott between 1925 and 1927. It features two piend-roofed blocks in the center and left, with decorative windows of six lights and four lights respectively on the first floor, situated above a modern shop door and windows under a continuous fascia that was added between 1999 and 2001, built over the former pavement. To the right, there is an off-centre gablehead that breaks the eaves, featuring a tall round-arched window on the first floor flanked by smaller windows, with an additional window to the left breaking the eaves in a semicircular dormerhead pediment. A square-headed and chamfered ashlar doorway on the far left, reconstructed between 2000 and 2002, leads into the 1864 section of the golf hotel, which was formerly Allan Robertson's villa and now provides access to the Royal and Ancient club facilities.

The south elevation, facing Pilmour Links, is a simpler entrance built in 1894 that leads to the rear linking blocks and The Links. It is also connected to the west to 6 Pilmour Links, which has a separate listing.

The decorative windows feature a band and hoop glazing pattern with timber mullions and transoms, likely from the 1920s. The roofs are covered with grey slates in a fishscale pattern, and there are cast-iron rooflights, coped stacks, and a coped skew. A flagpole is also present.

The central linking blocks include the wood drying shed to the south, which dates from the mid to late 19th century and is now clapboarded with a slated roof and dormers added in 2018-2019. The former factory block to the north, built in 1888, runs from north-northeast to south-southwest. It is constructed of brick and was rendered in the early 2000s, consisting of a factory at ground level supported by stanchions and a former finishing shop on the upper level.

The interior, as seen in 1998, retains the essential spatial arrangement of the golf club manufacturers.
