About Guided Walks of the Old Course

A slow walk across hallowed turf, led by someone who knows every bunker's history and every quirk of the fairways. Golf pilgrims make up most of the group, though plenty of people with no handicap at all come along just to stand on the same ground as the sport's oldest stories. Expect tales of championship moments, old rules and rivalries, and the strange local names given to particular humps and hollows. A Monday morning start means a quieter course than the weekend crowds bring.

Where to stay nearby

Leuchars sits closest to St Andrews and offers the widest hotel choice nearby, making it the most practical base for this walk. Cupar is a slightly smaller alternative a short drive further out, with fewer options but easy access. Edinburgh, an hour or so away by road, works well if you want a bigger city base with plenty of hotels and are happy with a longer trip in on the morning of the walk.
