About Guided Walks of the Old Course

Walking the most famous stretch of turf in golf is a different experience without a club in hand. A guide leads small groups across the fairways and greens, pointing out the bunkers, burns and landmarks that have decided championships for well over a century, from the Swilcan Bridge to the Road Hole.

There's time to stop, take photographs and hear the stories behind the holes rather than rushing to keep pace with a game. A late-morning start makes for an easy, unhurried pace before lunch.

Where to stay nearby

Leuchars sits closest to St Andrews, just a few kilometres away, and its wide choice of hotels makes it a practical base for this walk. Cupar offers a smaller, quieter selection a little further out. Edinburgh, though an hour or so by road, has by far the largest range of accommodation and is well connected to St Andrews by regular train and bus services, making it a sound option if you're combining the visit with other plans.
