About Guided Walks of the Old Course

This guided walk takes visitors around the Old Course, the most storied stretch of golfing ground in the world, tracing its history and quirks hole by hole. Since the walk is tied to a single, fixed location in St Andrews, where you sleep the night before shapes how relaxed your morning is and how much of the day you get back afterward.

Where to stay nearby

St Andrews itself has limited lodging, so most visitors base themselves in one of the surrounding towns and travel in for the walk. Here's how the three main options compare, from the closest village to the big-city alternative.

Leuchars — about 7 km away

Leuchars is the closest base by far, just 7km from the venue, and it has a surprisingly large hotel selection for its size, including easy access via Leuchars train station, which is the main rail stop for St Andrews. It suits anyone who wants to minimize travel time and still have plenty of room choices.

Cupar — about 13 km away

Cupar sits a little further out at 13km and has a much smaller hotel selection, so it works best if you've already found a place there or prefer a quieter, low-key town over more options. Getting to the venue from here will mean a short drive or bus ride rather than a direct rail link.

Edinburgh — about 50 km away

Edinburgh is the furthest option at 50km but by far the largest, with hundreds of hotels to choose from, making it ideal if you want a full-scale city base with lots of dining and transport flexibility. Reaching St Andrews from Edinburgh takes a bit of planning, typically a train to a nearby station followed by a bus or taxi, so budget extra time on the morning of the walk.
