About the Old Course

The world famous golf course is a classic links course. Here Golf began 600 years ago on public land to which, these days, everybody can have access.

In the top 5 of the best courses in Great-Britain, the Old course is totally unique for two reasons; first because of its long history and secondly because golfers experience shots which they will not play anywhere else like for example a 60 metres putt.

The name of the architect is unknown but Mother Nature has shaped this magnificent piece of land by the passing centuries, like most of Scottish golf courses.

The land is flat has gigantic greens with seven greens shared by two holes each.

Also, the course is characterized by shared fairways, 112 Scottish deep bunkers and many blind shots.

At 6,041 yards from the championship tees, the Old course is not an easy course especially when the wind decides to be part of the game.

You will enjoy the specialities of the course such as the hell bunker, the road hole, the Swilican Bridge , and the opportunity to start and finish your round into town.
