A pilgrimage to St Andrews is a special event in any golfer’s life. It’s a chance to connect with the game’s roots and experience great links golf in a unique setting. Nowhere on earth lives and breaths the game like the Home of Golf.

The Old Course may understandably hog the limelight but the neighbouring New and Jubilee Courses have a charm of their own. The challenging Castle Course, strung along towering cliffs on the outskirts of town, is a welcome recent addition to the St Andrews Links roster.

Arguably the best thing of all about golf in St Andrews, however, is its accessibility to visitors. The St Andrews Links Trust, which owns and operates the four layouts mentioned above, is committed to making their courses available to golfers from all walks of life – many Old Course rounds are still allocated by a daily ballot. And while visiting St Andrews in high summer commands premium prices, coming to this corner of Fife to play in the spring months is an absolute bargain.

First the bad news; Scotland in March is not the Bahamas. But Scotland in summer isn’t like the Bahamas, either, and nobody comes just for the weather. And as the townsfolk of St Andrews would say, “A bit of rain never hurt anyone”.

Now the good news; Scotland in March is much, much quieter than in the summer months. Tee times on all the best tracks – including the Old Course – can be guaranteed, if booked far enough in advance. And all at a fraction of the cost of a summer tour.

The tour below incorporates a six-night dinner, bed & breakfast stay at the 4-star Macdonald Rusacks Hotel, situated adjacent to the Old Course, St Andrews. The hotel offers spectacular views of some of golf’s most famous landmarks including the Swilcan Bridge, the 18th hole and the R&A clubhouse.

Additional features of this tour include:

Six rounds of golf (with lunch inclusive), including tee-times at the Old Course.
A competitive match against the University of Stirling, the European Universities’ champions at the fabulous Fairmont St Andrews resort.
Airport and ground transfers.

Prices for our St Andrews Spring Break tour start at just £2,100/$2,730 per person*, based on a party of eight touring golfers. We’d love to make this tour happen for team – click here to get in touch

Schedule

DAY ONE: Arrival

We’ll meet you at Edinburgh or Glasgow International Airport (depending on your point of arrival) and travel north by coach to St Andrews, allowing you to check in to your accommodation at the 4-star Macdonald Rusacks Hotel. The rest of the day is yours to acclimatize and explore the quaint St Andrews town.

DAY TWO: St Andrews, New Course

Today is spent on the St Andrews Links. The New Course has been a regular venue for Open Championship final qualifying and is a devilish challenge from the tee with undulating fairways and penal gorse abound. Lunch will be served in the New Clubhouse afterwards. You may want to pay a visit after your round to the British Golf Museum, situated opposite the R&A clubhouse, which has over 500 historic items of golfing memorabilia on display.

DAY THREE: Torrance Course, Fairmont St Andrews

It’s match day! After breakfast you will play against Stirling University’s men’s and women’s varsity teams – the current European Universities’ champions – over the Fairmont Torrance Course (pictured), providing you with the perfect opportunity to develop new acquaintances and establish lifelong international friendships with your student peers. Lunch is served in the clubhouse after play.

Afterwards, you may want to consider visiting the St Andrews Golf Company, the world’s oldest club-makers. Here you will see how clubs have been made for over 200 years, and get the chance to test some hickory clubs used by the founding fathers of the modern game.

DAY FOUR: St Andrews, Old Course

After breakfast, you will make the 100-yard walk to the R&A clubhouse where your 18-hole adventure over the Old Course begins. This represents the highlight of any golfing visit to Scotland so be sure to take it all in. Appreciate the rolling terrain, take note of the wonderfully-named bunkers, and imprint memories of renowned landmarks – including the Swilcan Bridge; the Railway Sheds; Hell’s bunker; and Grannie Clark’s Wynd.

After play, lunch is served at the nearby Dunvegan Hotel, perhaps the most well-known 19thhole in St Andrews. The atmosphere is unique with photos of famous golfers in the Dunvegan or meeting the owners covering the walls and ceilings.

DAY FIVE: St Andrews, Jubilee Course

After breakfast, you make the short journey by foot down Grannie Clark’s Wynd, crossing the 1stand 18thfairways of the Old Course, to take on the Jubilee Course. Created on a narrow strip of land between the sea and the New Course, the raised tees provide great views but also expose golfers to prevalent winds that sweep in from the bay.

DAY SIX: St Andrews, Castle Course

After breakfast, we make the short journey to the newest addition to the St Andrews Links group of courses –and easily the toughest. The Castle Course (pictured) sits on high ground to the south of the town and offers outstanding views of St Andrews, its beaches and the sea. Its hallmarks are generous fairways, penal bunkers and heavily undulating greens which can shred nerves, particularly when the wind is blowing.

After lunch in the clubhouse, the rest of the day is yours to spend in St Andrews, providing sufficient time to get souvenirs and memorabilia supporting lasting memories of your trip to Scotland.

DAY SEVEN

After breakfast we wish you a fond farewell as we take you back to the airport for your return journey home.
