About Guided Walks of the Old Course

A walking tour rather than a spectator event, this follows the fairways and bunkers that generations of golfers have talked about long after leaving. A guide talks through the history of the holes, the quirks of the layout, and the stories attached to particular shots and particular players. It suits golf fans far more than casual sightseers, though the setting itself has appeal beyond the sport. A Sunday afternoon start means the walk falls at a quiet point in the week, away from any competitive play on the links.

Where to stay nearby

Leuchars sits closest to St Andrews and has by far the largest choice of hotels among the gateway towns, making it the most practical base for this walk. Cupar is a little further out with a smaller, more limited range of accommodation. Edinburgh is a longer trip at around 50km but offers the widest choice of hotels overall, and works well if you're combining the walk with other plans or arriving by train into the city before heading on to St Andrews.

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.
