About Guided Walks of the Old Course

Walking the fabled links on foot, rather than watching from behind a rope, gives a different sense of scale entirely. A guide talks through the history of each hole, the bunkers with names of their own, and the quirks of a course that was never designed, only discovered over centuries of play. Expect stories of the golfers who have shaped its reputation and the rules that grew up around it.

Where to stay nearby

Leuchars sits closest to the action, just a few kilometres off, and its large stock of hotels makes it the easiest base for this walk. Cupar offers a quieter alternative a little further out, with fewer but perfectly serviceable options. Edinburgh, an hour or so away by road or rail, works well if you want a bigger city to return to in the evening, with far more choice of hotels and easy onward travel links.

Leuchars — about 7 km away

Leuchars is the closest option, just 7km away, making it ideal for those who want minimal travel to the venue. With 52 hotels available, it offers a good selection of places to stay and regular bus or short-drive connections to St Andrews.

Cupar — about 13 km away

Cupar lies 13km from the venue and suits visitors seeking a small-town atmosphere with lower prices and fewer crowds. Regular buses connect it to St Andrews, though journey times are longer than from Leuchars.

Edinburgh — about 50 km away

Edinburgh, 50km away, is Scotland's capital and a major transport hub with 280 hotels across all budgets. It's the best choice if you want urban amenities and don't mind a 45–60 minute drive or regular direct buses to the venue.
