About The Old Course at St Andrews Golf Course
The Old Course at St Andrews needs no introduction. The location, the history and the magic make the Old Course No.1 on every golfer’s “wishlist”. The fairways are generous, the greens large and undulating and the bunkers some of the toughest in the business. Add the wind to this mix and the fact that you’re walking the fairways where all the game’s greatest have walked before, and you have a real test on your hands. A test, however, that you’ll talk about for always…Particularly if you can grab a par or two.
- No buggies on The Old Course
- Trolleys - Only after 12 noon
- Clubhouse - communal clubhouse for all courses run by The St Andrew Links Trust
- Caddies
Our take
A fair and enjoyable round. We know it inside out, and we will tell you straight who it suits.
- Serious golfersA pleasant test rather than a brute. Good for a competitive round without leaving anyone bruised.
- Higher handicapsForgiving enough to enjoy. A good one to relax into if you are not playing every day.
- Societies & groupsA cracking matchplay course, with enough risk and reward to split the field and plenty to argue about over a drink after.
- WalkersA comfortable enough walk if you would rather leave the buggy in the shed.
Tell us who’s coming and how you like to play, and we’ll shape the right trip around you.
