St Andrews Old Course

About the course

Set in the picturesque landscape of the Scottish coast, the Old Course is rightly one of the oldest and most popular golf courses in the world. While the authorship of this masterpiece remains unknown, Mother Nature herself, who has tirelessly shaped Scotland’s coastal landscape, has created a unique work of art on the Old Course. The historically renowned Old Course is phenomenal not only because of its fame, which breathes on visitors at every turn.

For golfers, the Old Course presents a challenge that few other golf courses encounter. Quality strokes are key here, and some are so unique that they are hard to find on any other course. The terrain of the course is mostly flat, with huge greens that absorb the gaze of any golfer. In addition, the Old Course is characterized by numerous bunkers and countless significant passages where players can enjoy long drives and challenging blind shots. This combination of history, natural beauty and challenge makes the Old Course a truly unique place that will captivate and excite any golf lover.
