About Guided Walks of the Old Course

This guided walk takes visitors around the historic Old Course at St Andrews, the spiritual home of golf, tracing its fairways and storied holes with a knowledgeable guide. Because St Andrews itself has limited lodging, picking the right base nearby affects how easily you can get to the start point and back.

Where to stay nearby

St Andrews draws golf pilgrims from everywhere, and while the town is compact and walkable, its own hotel stock fills up fast for events like this. The three gateway towns below each offer a different trade-off between proximity, hotel choice, and ease of transport, so pick based on how much travel time you're willing to build into your day.

Leuchars — about 7 km away

Leuchars is the closest base and has a train station that serves as the usual rail gateway to St Andrews, with onward buses or taxis covering the last stretch; with 52 hotels, it offers solid choice for those who want to be near the action without staying in St Andrews itself.

Cupar — about 13 km away

Cupar sits a little further out and has its own train station, making it a workable option if Leuchars or St Andrews are booked up, though with only 7 hotels here, availability may be tight and you'll want to book early.

Edinburgh — about 50 km away

Edinburgh is the furthest option but by far the best-stocked, with 280 hotels and strong onward rail connections toward Leuchars, followed by a short bus or taxi ride into St Andrews; it suits visitors who want city amenities and don't mind a longer travel day.
