Old Course, St Andrews

It is essential for all keen golfers to make a pilgrimage to play this fine old links at least once in their life. To play the course you must possess handicap certification and a maximum handicap of 24 for Gents and 36 for Ladies. We can source these times, which would ensure you secured guaranteed tee times well in advance of your arrival. They are sold as a package which includes a round on the Old and New course. The sooner you plan your tour the more likely that we can access such times.

We can also base your quotation on the Old Course Ballot. This is where we enter your names in a ballot (lottery) the day before you plan to play and you discover whether you have been successful by 4pm. Over 50% of tee times are allocated in this way but there are no guarantees of success. If unlucky with the Ballot result there are numerous top class courses that we can arrange tee times at short notice in the vicinity to St Andrews. Any green fee savings would be refunded directly to the Golfers.

Please note that very occasionally we can have a spare guaranteed tee time available for a single golfer should a group of 3 wish to sell on the 4th space in a tee time package. However, generally speaking, single golfers, will have to access the course by registering with the Old Course Starter early in the morning and then waiting for an incomplete 2 or 3 ball with which to get paired up. Please note that you will have to show your handicap certificate to the Starter and green fees are also paid directly to the Starter.
