About Guided Walks of the Old Course

A walk across the most famous stretch of turf in golf, led by someone who knows its bumps and history rather than a scorecard. Expect stories about the Swilcan Bridge, the double greens, and the bunkers that have ended championship hopes, told at a relaxed pace over a couple of hours. Autumn mornings here tend to be crisp and quiet, with the course itself often free of play depending on the day's schedule. It suits golf obsessives and curious wanderers alike, no clubs required.

Where to stay nearby

Leuchars sits closest to St Andrews, just a few kilometres away, and its hotel choice makes it the easiest base for a morning walk start. Cupar offers a smaller, quieter selection a little further out, useful if Leuchars is booked up. Edinburgh is a longer trip, roughly 50km, but its much larger range of hotels suits those combining this with a wider trip, with regular trains running towards the St Andrews area.
