About Guided Walks of the Old Course

A walk across the most famous links in golf, led by a guide who knows its history and its quirks. Expect stories about the bunkers, the Swilcan Bridge, and the holes that have decided championships, told at a relaxed pace over a couple of hours. No clubs, no scorecards — just the chance to stand on the fairways and see the course as the professionals do. Thursday's late-morning start suits a leisurely day, with time afterwards to explore the town on foot.

Where to stay nearby

Leuchars sits closest to the course, just a few minutes away by road or rail, and its large stock of hotels makes it the most practical base for this walk. Cupar offers a smaller, quieter alternative a short drive further out. Edinburgh, about 50km away, works well if you'd rather stay in a bigger city and travel up for the morning — trains run regularly to the area, with a short onward journey to St Andrews itself.
