About Guided Walks of the Old Course

A walk across the most famous links in golf, led by someone who can point out the bunkers and stories that a scorecard never explains. Expect a slow pace over firm turf, with stops at landmarks like the Swilcan Bridge and the Road Hole, and plenty of time for questions. Late morning light in October tends to be low and clear, good for photographs of the fairways and the town beyond them. No clubs, no scores — just the ground itself and what has happened on it.

Where to stay nearby

Leuchars sits closest to the course, a few minutes away, and its hotels make the simplest base if you want to walk over on the morning of the tour. Cupar is a short drive further out and has a smaller choice of places to stay, but tends to be quieter. Edinburgh is the furthest option, roughly an hour by road, though its far larger range of hotels and regular train links to the Fife area make it a practical alternative if you're combining the walk with a longer trip.
