About Guided Walks of the Old Course

A guide talks through the holes as you go, pointing out the bunkers and landmarks that have shaped how the course is played and remembered. It suits golf followers and casual walkers alike, since no clubs or handicap are needed, just comfortable shoes and an hour or two free. Early September usually means mild weather and the course clear of tournament crowds.

Where to stay nearby

Leuchars sits closest to the course, just 7km away, and has the largest hotel choice of the three bases, making it a practical first option. Cupar is a little further out at 13km with a smaller, more limited selection of places to stay. Edinburgh, 50km away, works well if you'd rather stay in a bigger city and travel in for the walk, with plenty of train and coach links towards St Andrews and a much wider range of hotels to choose from.

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.

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.
