About Guided Walks of the Old Course

Walking the links on foot is a different experience from watching golf on television. A guide leads small groups across the fairways and around the bunkers, pointing out the quirks of a course that has shaped the game for centuries, from blind approach shots to the double greens shared by two holes at once.

Sunday afternoon means the course may be quieter than during a weekday round, giving walkers more room to pause and take in the detail. Expect stories about the holes themselves rather than a rehearsed script, and comfortable shoes are worth more than an umbrella.

Where to stay nearby

Leuchars sits closest to St Andrews and has by far the largest hotel selection of the three bases, making it a practical first choice for a short trip. Cupar is a little further out with a smaller but workable range of options, suited to those happy with a short drive in. Edinburgh is the furthest base at 50km, but its size means far more choice of hotels and onward transport, with regular trains and buses running towards Fife for those who prefer a city stay either side of the walk.

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.
