About Guided Walks of the Old Course

Walking the fairways on foot gives a different sense of scale than watching golf on television ever can. A guide talks through the history embedded in the turf, from centuries-old bunkers with their own names to the quirks of a layout that has shaped how the game is played everywhere else. Mornings on the links tend to be quiet and unhurried, with time to look at the Swilcan Bridge and the Road Hole up close rather than through a fence. It suits golf enthusiasts and curious visitors alike, whether or not they play the game themselves.

Where to stay nearby

Leuchars sits closest to the action, a short hop from St Andrews and well stocked with hotels for a weekend built around the walk. Cupar offers a smaller, quieter base a little further out, with a modest handful of options for those who prefer a low-key town. Edinburgh works well for anyone combining the visit with a wider trip, with a huge range of hotels and a straightforward drive or train journey through to St Andrews on the day.
