About Guided Walks of the Old Course

Walking the most famous stretch of turf in golf is a different experience with a guide who knows every bump and borrow. Groups set off on foot, tracing the holes and the history that has built up around them over centuries, with stops for the stories that don't make the guidebooks. Expect a brisk pace and plenty of standing about in the wind while someone explains why a particular bunker has a name of its own. Late morning light in early October tends to be low and clear, good for photographs of the links and the sea beyond.
