About Guided Walks of the Old Course

A walk across the most famous links in golf, led by someone who knows its history and its quirks. Expect stories about the Swilcan Bridge, the Road Hole and the bunkers that have wrecked many a good round, told as you cross the fairways on foot rather than watch from behind a rope. Late October brings a quieter course and a slower pace, with autumn light across the bay and far fewer golfers to dodge. It suits anyone curious about the game's roots rather than committed players only.

Edinburgh is the practical choice for range and price, with regular trains to the area and around fifty minutes on the road or rail to St Andrews, making it easy to combine the walk with a night or two in the city.
