St Andrews Old Course
The Old Course at St Andrews is the most iconic golf course in the world and is universally regarded as the Home of Golf. Dating back to the early 15th century, this hallowed links has hosted The Open Championship more times than any other venue and continues to captivate golfers from every corner of the globe. The course represents the very birthplace of the game, where golf evolved from its earliest forms into the sport we know today.
The course is renowned for its enormous double greens shared by different holes, hidden pot bunkers with names like Hell Bunker and the Road Hole Bunker, and the famous Road Hole 17th — widely considered the most difficult and strategic par 4 in championship golf. The Swilcan Bridge, crossing the burn on the 18th fairway, has become one of the most photographed and emotionally significant landmarks in all of sport, walked by every golfing legend throughout history.
Playing the Old Course is a pilgrimage every serious golfer must undertake at least once in their lifetime. The experience of walking these ancient fairways where the game was born, where Old Tom Morris shaped the modern course, and where legends from Bobby Jones to Jack Nicklaus to Tiger Woods have competed for glory, is truly unparalleled in the world of golf. The Valley of Sin fronting the 18th green has caught out countless champions and club golfers alike, providing drama until the very last putt.
