About Guided Walks of the Old Course

Walking the fabled links on foot, without a club in hand, gives golf pilgrims a chance to study the ground that has shaped the game for centuries. A local guide points out the bunkers, burns and humps that have wrecked scorecards for generations, along with the quirks that only become obvious when you slow down and look properly.

Late October brings quieter fairways and a good chance of low autumn light across the dunes, with a crisp, coastal chill in the air. Expect plenty of stopping, storytelling and a proper look at the greens most players only glimpse from a distance.

Where to stay nearby

Leuchars sits closest to the action and offers the widest hotel choice for a weekend built around this walk. Cupar makes a smaller, quieter alternative a short drive away, with a handful of hotels to choose from. Edinburgh is the obvious option if you want a bigger city base with far more choice, with regular trains running towards Fife and a taxi or bus covering the final stretch into St Andrews.
