About Guided Walks of the Old Course

This is a guided walking tour of the Old Course at St Andrews, the historic home of golf, taking in the fairways and landmarks on foot rather than by watching from a distance. Because the walk starts at a specific point in a small town, your choice of base determines whether you arrive relaxed or rushed, and how easy it is to explore the area before or after.

Where to stay nearby

St Andrews itself has limited accommodation, so most visitors base themselves in one of a handful of nearby towns and travel in for the walk. Here's how the realistic options stack up, from the closest small towns to the bigger city with far more choice but a longer trip.

Leuchars — about 7 km away

Leuchars is the closest base and also the local rail gateway, with a station connected to St Andrews by a short onward bus or taxi ride; with 52 hotels it offers solid choice for a town this size and suits those who want to minimise travel time on the day.

Cupar — about 13 km away

Cupar is a small Fife town a little further out, with just 7 hotels, so it works best if Leuchars and Edinburgh are booked up or you prefer a quieter, more local feel; getting to the venue means a short drive or bus into St Andrews.

Edinburgh — about 50 km away

Edinburgh is 50km away but has by far the largest hotel selection at 280, making it the easiest place to find a room; it suits visitors who want city amenities and don't mind a longer trip in, typically by train to the area followed by a bus or taxi, or a direct road journey of a bit over an hour.
