About the Golf Course
There is golf… and then there is The Old Course at St Andrews — the birthplace of the game and the most iconic golf course in the world. Walk across the historic Swilcan Bridge, stand on the 18th green beneath the Royal & Ancient clubhouse, and you’re stepping into over 600 years of golfing history. This is not just a round of golf; it’s a pilgrimage.

Read more about The Old Course - St Andrews Links
The Old Course is the ultimate links experience. Shaped by wind, sea air, and centuries of play rather than modern machinery, it represents golf in its purest form. Wide double greens, cavernous bunkers like the infamous Hell Bunker, and the legendary 17th “Road Hole” make it both strategic and unforgettable.
Unlike modern resort courses, The Old Course rewards imagination over power. The fairways appear generous, but angles matter. Greens are massive and shared between holes, demanding precise putting and course management.
The course has hosted The Open Championship more than any other venue in the world and continues to serve as the spiritual heart of global golf. Every golfer — from amateurs to major champions — dreams of teeing it up here.
🌊 Course Characteristics • Style: Classic Scottish links • Natural dunes and undulating fairways • Large shared double greens • Strategic pot bunkers • Firm, fast-running turf • Coastal winds that change daily
