"The Home of Golf" and venue for the Open
Championship twenty six times, the essential qualities of the Old Course at St
Andrews are the same today as they were when golf was first played over this
stretch of ancient linksland six centuries ago.
From taking on the most famous hole in golf,
the Road Hole, to walking over Swilken
Bridge or putting from the Valley of Sin,
each golfer who plays the Old Course becomes part of its history.
It is surely every golfer's dream to make
the pilgrimage to play on the Old Course and sample the atmosphere, beauty and
true Scottish hospitality of this historic town.
Traditionally golfers enter a daily ballot
for the hugely over-subscribed and highly coveted start times, and unfortunately
most are disappointed. You need to enter the ballot by 2pm, in person, the day
before you wish to play. You will be advised at 4pm whether or not you have been
successful.
However, through an exclusive contract with
St Andrews Links Trust "The Old Course Experience" can guarantee your tee
time and eliminate the element of uncertainty. This allows you to make bookings
months in advance with the security of confirmed start times and most
importantly of playing with your friends and colleagues.
