About Guided Walks of the Old Course

A walk across the most famous links in the game, 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 so many good rounds, told as you cross the same turf. Afternoon light on a Monday tends to bring a quieter course than the weekend crowds, with more space to stand where the professionals stand and take it in. No clubs, no scorecards — just the ground itself and the history written into it.

Where to stay nearby

Leuchars sits closest to the course, just a few kilometres away, and its hotel choice is by far the largest of the three bases, making it the practical first stop for most visitors. Cupar offers a smaller, quieter alternative a short drive further out, useful if Leuchars is full. Edinburgh is the furthest option at around 50km, but its size and transport links make it a sensible base if you're combining the walk with a wider trip — regular trains run up toward Fife from the city, cutting down on driving.

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.

Cupar — about 13 km away

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.
