About Guided Walks of the Old Course

This guided walk takes you across St Andrews' Old Course, the birthplace of golf, tracing its history and famous holes with a local guide. Since the walk starts right in St Andrews town, where you base yourself shapes how easy your morning start and return will be.

Where to stay nearby

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

Leuchars — about 7 km away

Leuchars is the closest base and has a railway station that serves St Andrews, making it a practical, well-connected choice with the largest hotel selection of the three towns.

Cupar — about 13 km away

Cupar is a bit further out but also sits on the rail line towards St Andrews, and its smaller hotel count means it suits those happy to book early or want a quieter market-town base.

Edinburgh — about 50 km away

Edinburgh is a longer trip out, best for those who want a big-city base with the widest hotel choice, connecting to St Andrews by train (often changing at Leuchars) or by bus, with a longer travel time on event day.
