About Guided Walks of the Old Course

A walk across the most famous links in golf, led by someone who knows its history and its quirks. Expect stories about the Swilcan Bridge, the Road Hole, and the bunkers that have wrecked more rounds than any other hazard in the sport. Morning light on the fairways makes for good photographs, and the pace is gentle enough for non-golfers to enjoy. It's as much a history lesson as a sports outing, told from the turf itself.

Where to stay nearby

Leuchars sits closest to the action, just a few kilometres out, and has by far the widest hotel choice among the smaller bases. Cupar is a similarly short hop and offers a handful of options if Leuchars is full. Edinburgh is a much longer drive but has the largest selection of hotels by a wide margin, useful if you're combining this with a city stay and don't mind the extra travel time on the morning 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.
