About Guided Walks of the Old Course

Walking the fairways on foot is a different experience from watching golf on television, with a guide pointing out the bunkers, burns and blind shots that have shaped centuries of matches. Groups move at a relaxed pace across the links, stopping at landmarks such as the Swilcan Bridge and the Road Hole, with stories about the players and decisions that made them famous. A late-October morning brings quieter turf than the height of summer, with low sun and sea air adding to the walk.
