About Guided Walks of the Old Course

Guided Walks of the Old Course take small groups onto golf's most storied fairways to hear the history behind every hole. Since tours run at set times and can't be rushed, where you sleep the night before shapes how relaxed and on-time you'll be for the walk.

Where to stay nearby

St Andrews itself has limited lodging for a event like this, so most visitors base themselves in one of the nearby towns and travel in. Here's how the three real options compare, from quick hops to a proper day trip.

Leuchars — about 7 km away

Leuchars sits closest to St Andrews and is the train station most visitors actually use to reach the town, with regular onward buses or a short taxi ride covering the last stretch. With over 50 hotels, it's the practical choice if you want easy proximity without needing a car.

Cupar — about 13 km away

Cupar is a small Fife town a little further out, with its own train station and connections toward St Andrews, though services and taxis are less frequent given the smaller pool of hotels. It suits travelers happy to plan around train times rather than needing constant flexibility.

Edinburgh — about 50 km away

Edinburgh is the obvious choice if you want a big-city base with the widest range of hotels, but the trade-off is a longer journey — typically a train to the Leuchars area followed by a bus or taxi into St Andrews. It works well if you're combining the walk with a broader Edinburgh visit, but plan extra travel time on the day.
