About Guided Walks of the Old Course

The Guided Walks of the Old Course is a unique opportunity to explore one of golf's most hallowed grounds with expert commentary on St Andrews' legendary layout and history. Where you stay determines how quickly you can reach the venue each morning and enjoy the surrounding Fife countryside.

Where to stay nearby

St Andrews draws golf pilgrims from around the world, and September is an ideal time to walk the Old Course with a guide and soak in the atmosphere without the summer crowds. The town itself is compact, but nearby gateway towns offer different bases depending on your priorities—proximity, variety, or access to a larger city.

Leuchars — about 7 km away
