About Guided Walks of the Old Course

A walk across the most famous fairways in golf, led by someone who knows the ground rather than just the yardages. Expect stories about the bunkers that have wrecked championship rounds, the quirks of shared fairways, and the way the course has barely changed in a couple of centuries. It's a slow, conversational pace rather than a sporting event in itself, so wear proper shoes and expect to stop often for photographs and anecdotes. Monday mornings tend to be quieter, with none of the crowds that build later in the week.

Edinburgh is the practical choice if you want more variety in where you stay, with plenty of trains running towards Leuchars and a connecting bus or taxi into St Andrews itself.
