About Guided Walks of the Old Course

These guided walks take small groups around the historic Old Course at St Andrews, tracing its history and layout on foot. Since the walks start and finish right at the course, your choice of base determines how easily and cheaply you can get to the start point each morning.

Where to stay nearby

St Andrews itself has limited lodging, so most visitors base themselves in one of three nearby towns and travel in for the walk. Here's how each option stacks up for reaching the Old Course.

Leuchars — about 7 km away

Leuchars is the closest base at just 7km out, with the largest hotel selection of the three towns. It has a railway station used as the gateway to St Andrews, with a short onward bus or taxi ride to the course.

Cupar — about 13 km away

Cupar sits a little further at 13km, with a much smaller pool of hotels, so book early if choosing this base. It's a short drive or bus ride to St Andrews, making it workable for those who don't mind a slightly longer commute in exchange for a quieter town.

Edinburgh — about 50 km away

Edinburgh is 50km away but by far the biggest hotel market, useful if you're combining the walk with a city stay or if the closer towns are full. Reaching St Andrews from here means a train or coach journey followed by a local bus or taxi to the course, so factor in extra travel time on the day.
