The St Rule Club is a woman's golf and social club based in St Andrews, Scotland, and was established at the end of 1896, although it was not until 1898 when the golf section was established.[2][3]

It has a variety of activities for its members, which includes a golf section, a book club and it is open to members and their guests for morning coffee, lunch and afternoon tea.[4]

The club does not own its own golf course, instead, members have playing privileges on the seven public golf courses owned by the St Andrews Links Trust, which includes the Old Course. The St Rule Trophy, forms part of the Scottish Women's Order of Merit ladies amateur competition.[5] and is used as a qualifier for other trophies including the Curtis Cup.[1]
