The St Andrews Golf Trip Planner

Where to stay, where to play, and how to get on the Old Course — plus what to do about The Open 2027 before the beds sell out.

What's inside

  • All six St Andrews Links courses plus the Castle Course — character and how to get on each, not just the Old
  • The four realistic routes onto the Old Course: the daily ballot, advance booking, the singles queue and tee-time packages
  • When to go and where to stay, and why the room books before the tee time
  • The Open 2027 window — dates, the R&A ticket ballot, and why beds sell out a year-plus ahead
  • A one-line trip template to fill in: dates, players, courses, ballot date, budget

The Sunday Post

A good round, a fair fee, and a story from the clubhouse.

One email, most Sundays. No affiliate spam, no drip funnel, no nonsense. Just the tee time we'd book this week, the muni we'd play before work, and one piece of Scottish golf history worth the read.

Written by someone who actually plays here.
