Where Tradition Meets the Modern Game
St. Andrews, known as “The Home of Golf,” is a course unlike any other. Located in Scotland, it’s where the game began over 600 years ago, and playing here is a pilgrimage for true golf enthusiasts.
A Layout Steeped in History
The Old Course is famous for its double greens, wide fairways, and strategic bunkering. It rewards smart strategy over brute force, encouraging players to think their way around.
Iconic Features
- Swilcan Bridge: The stone bridge crossing the 18th fairway is one of the most photographed landmarks in golf.
- Hell Bunker: A 10-foot deep hazard on the 14th hole that has wrecked many scorecards.
- Road Hole (17th): Considered one of the toughest par-4s in the world, demanding a tee shot over the Old Course Hotel.
The Open Championship Legacy
St. Andrews has hosted The Open Championship more than any other venue. Greats like Nicklaus, Tiger, and Seve have triumphed here, adding to its lore.
Booking a Tee Time
Despite its history, the course is surprisingly accessible to the public. You can enter a lottery or book through golf tour companies to secure a round.
