About Guided Walks of the Old Course

Walking the most famous fairways in golf is a different experience with no play underway and a guide on hand to explain what happened where. The route takes in the Swilcan Bridge, the Road Hole and the closing green, with stories of championships and collapses attached to almost every step. Sunday mornings tend to draw a mix of golf pilgrims and curious visitors rather than serious players, so pace is relaxed and there's time for photographs. Expect the wind off the bay to shape the mood as much as the history does.

Where to stay nearby

Leuchars sits closest to St Andrews and has by far the widest choice of places to stay, making it the practical first stop for most visitors. Cupar offers a quieter, smaller-scale alternative a short drive from the course. Edinburgh, an hour or so away by car, works well if you're combining the walk with a longer stay in the capital and don't mind the extra travel time on the morning of the walk.
