About Guided Walks of the Old Course

A walk across the most famous stretch of turf in golf, led by someone who can point out what the untrained eye would miss: the line off the tee at the Road Hole, the humps and hollows that have decided championships, the burn that has swallowed more shots than anyone can count. Saturday afternoon light tends to be soft and low, good for photographs of the fairways and the grey stone behind them.

Walkers gather in small groups rather than crowds, and the pace is unhurried, with time for questions and stories about the shots and players who have made this ground what it is.

Where to stay nearby

Leuchars sits closest to the action, a small base with a genuinely useful spread of 52 hotels to choose from and a short onward journey to reach the coast. Cupar offers a quieter, more compact choice with seven hotels and a similar short hop in. Edinburgh is the outlier at 50km away, but with 280 hotels it gives far more flexibility on price and style, and is well used to day-trippers heading out to Fife by train or car. Whichever base you choose, plan for a short final leg by road or rail into St Andrews itself, since the walk starts promptly at 2pm and the course is best reached with a little time in hand.

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.
