Old Course at St. Andrews, St. Andrews, Scotland

There are better ways than others to include the Old Course on your Scotland vacation, and we will guide you so that your St. Andrews Experience will allow you to truly live the Old Course and the Auld Grey Toon, without costing you an arm and a leg (unless you have an arm and leg to spend!). Do you want to play the Old Course twice? Want to experience it as the locals do? Let us plan your trip, and get the most of your St. Andrews Experience. Savor every step of the way as you walk over Granny Clark’s Wynd and the Swilcan Burn, past Cheape’s, the Seven Sisters, Ginger Beer, Bobby Jones’ bunker, the Beardies, and Hell. Stroll down the Road Hole, over the Swilcan Bridge, and through the Valley of Sin, before finishing back in town at the foot of the famous R&A Clubhouse. Many people are distracted by the pomp and circumstance, and the relatively flat landscape that makes it difficult to see where you are going. Some even come off disappointed, and what a shame! It is said that the Old Course is, “like whisky, an acquired taste.” Like Bobby Jones, who hated it so much on his first visit that he stormed off of the course, those that learn its subtleties end up appreciating the course for what it is, nothing less than one of the finest golf courses in the entire world. So study it, delight in its challenge, take no step for granted, and nurture your appreciation for it, and go home having truly lived it!
