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 talks through the history of the fairways and greens, pointing out the quirks and hazards that have decided championships over the years, and the stories behind bunkers with names of their own. It suits golf fans and curious walkers alike, and a Monday morning outing means a quieter, unhurried pace across the links. Expect to come away understanding far more about how the course actually plays than any television broadcast could show.

Where to stay nearby

Leuchars sits closest to the action, just a few kilometres away, and its large stable of hotels makes it an easy, practical base for a Monday morning walk. Cupar offers a smaller but still handy selection if Leuchars is full or you fancy a quieter town to return to afterwards. Edinburgh is the furthest option but by far the best stocked for hotels, and works well if you're combining the walk with a longer trip or prefer a city base with more choice; the drive over takes under an hour.
