The world famous golf course is a classic links course. Here Golf began 600 years ago, on public land, to which everyone can have access. In the top 5 of the best courses in the world, the Old course is totally unique for two reasons; firstly because of its long history and secondly because golfers have to play certain shots here that they will play nowhere else, (for example, a 60 metres putt!). The name of the architect is unknown but mother-nature has shaped this magnificent piece of land over the centuries, like most Scottish golf courses. The land is flat and has gigantic greens, with seven greens shared between two holes each. The course is also characterised by shared fairways, 112 Scottish deep bunkers and many “blind” shots. At only 6,041 yards (from the championship tees), the Old course is not an easy course, especially when the wind decides to become part of the game. You will enjoy certain special parts of the course such as the “hell bunker”, the “road hole”, the “swilican bridge”, and the opportunity to start and finish your round in town. |
