FAQs

How do I get a st Andrews old course tee times?

We are an Authorised Provider of St Andrews Old Course tee times and can include them as part of a package. Our packages also include core elements of accommodation, additional golf and ground transportation. So enquire here and start building your customised golf tour.

Are there any booking stipulations?

As a business we stipulate a minimum 5-night stay for all golf tours including the St Andrews Old Course Tee Times. The St Andrews Links also include a round on either the New Course, Jubilee Course or Castle Course as part of your booking.

What does “Ballot only” mean?

Unfortunately, but realistically, there are a finite number of advanced bookable tee times available for the St Andrews Old Course. There is however a unique system in place for golfers without an advanced tee time; the daily Ballot, which provides the opportunity to apply for a tee time 2 days before the intended date of play. The ballot can only be entered by groups of 2-4 golfers and as a lottery-style system, does not guarantee play.

Are there restrictions on the size of a group?

Whilst all tee times are 4-balls, we are happy to split tee times and work with 3-balls, 2-balls and single golfers. As is the case with many premier golf courses, out-with events such as the St Andrews Golf Week, the St Andrews Old Course does not lend itself to large group bookings. So we personally recommend groups of up to 8 golfers to ensure the best possible experience.

Are there player restrictions for the St Andrews Old Course?

The ‘handicap’ limit for both men & women is 36. The Starter does require this information on the day, therefore we will request this information prior to arrival.

Is there a dress code for the St Andrews Old Course?

There is no strict dress code at St Andrews. Although, as you will undoubtedly take many photos during your round, we would always recommend dressing in your best golf attire.

The St Andrews Old Course Ballot is drawn two days ahead of play with the exception of Friday as there is no play on the Old Course on Sundays.

To enter the ballot, golfers names, home golf clubs and handicaps are required (Maximum of 36 for both men and ladies). The deadline for entering the ballot is 2pm and the results are usually available by 4pm.

Links Golf St Andrews take care of the above process for all golfers who have their golf tour booked with us. We will advise clients if they have been successful in the Old Course Ballot and if not, arrange alternative golf.

Tain Golf Club

Situated to the south of Royal Dornoch, Tain is a heathland/links course with spectacular views. Designed originally by Old Tom Morris as a fifteen-hole course in 1890, it was extended to eighteen holes in 1894; eleven Morris holes are still in play today. This is an easy walking course with the river meandering through three of the holes. Always presented in beautiful condition, Tain is a good test of golf, with clever bunkering and natural water hazards. Tain is located 35 miles north of Inverness.
