About Guided Walks of the Old Course

A walk across the most famous stretch of turf in golf takes visitors along fairways that have shaped the sport for centuries. Guides talk through the quirks of the layout, from blind approaches to the double greens, and the stories of players who have walked the same ground before major championships.

Sunday morning brings quieter fairways than a weekday, with a slower pace and time to linger at spots like the Swilcan Bridge. Golfers and curious travellers alike come away understanding why the course is studied rather than just played.

Where to stay nearby

Leuchars sits closest to the action, just 7km out, and with 52 hotels to choose from it is the most practical base for this walk. Cupar offers a smaller but still useful choice of 7 hotels a little further away at 13km. Edinburgh, 50km off, gives access to the widest range of accommodation with 280 hotels, making it a sound option for those combining the walk with a broader trip, though it means a longer journey on the morning itself.
