Here's How You Can Play St Andrews Old Course In 2020
St Andrews Old Course is the Home of Golf and should be on top of every single golfer's bucket list.
It is arguably the most famous golf course in the world, and what makes it even better is that it is accessible to the public.
Always dreamed of teeing off in front of the R&A clubhouse? Seeing if you can avoid the Road Hole Bunker? Walking over the Swilcan Bridge? Here is your chance.
Advance applications have opened for you to play in the 2020 season with four options available: High Season, Shoulder Season, Low Season and Single Golfer.
Obviously the Single Golfer is just for one-balls whilst the other options allow you to book for a minimum of two players and then a maximum of 8 (High Season), 16 (Shoulder Season) and unlimited (Low Season).
