How to get a tee time on the Old Course in St. Andrews, Scotland: Sweet Spots podcast

Getting on the Old Course in St. Andrews may be easier than you think.

That’s the message the St. Andrews Links Trust wants to tell the golfing public, who hear tall tales of multi-year waitlists and improbable lottery odds.

During his recent trip to Scotland, Brandon Tucker had a chance to find out just how hard it is to get on the Old Course. The results are surprisingly easy.

John Stewart of the Links Trust joins Tucker on this podcast, and tells us everything you need to know about getting a tee time on the prestigious Old Course.

This podcast is supported by St. Andrews Links Tours.

Getting a tee time on the Old Course is almost as easy as finding the generous fairway on the 18th hole.

   I would like a tee time on the Old Course any time the last week of July, '08. I have talked with and written to many people who claimed they could arrange a tee time, but none of them turned out to be reliable.
   Any help would be greatly appreciated.

   I had the greatest golfing weekend 22nd April 2007, when my son and his friend and i played the Strathtyrum, the New and of course the Old Course. What a fabulous place. We enjoyed every minute. I look forward to going back in the not too distant future.

    Try Links Golf St Andrews. I booked my trip to St Andrews with them last year and I think they have Old Course tee times throughout the summer.

    I traveled with Links Golf St Andrews as a single in 2007 and they were able to pair me up with a group of three other players when I booked. I had a great time and can't wait go back.

    Showed up as a single noon June 30. Asked the starter if there was any chance a single could get a game . A half hour later I spied a threesome on the first tee that was part of a booking where the 4 th had not shown up and as fast as I could pull out my credit card I was part of that group. People at St Andrews terrific and supportive in doing all they can to accomodate those wishing to experience playing "the mecca".

    I just got back from Scotland and was lucky enough to get on the Old Course. I arrived at 8:30 and teed off at 9:40. I was a single and me and another guy got paired up with a twosome. It was a Thursday and a beautiful sunny day so I got lucky. Be polite and courteous to the starter and don’t leave the area. If you are coming from the states make sure to mention you have come a long way to fulfill a dream. Don’t bother the starter but make sure he sees you hanging around. Don’t forget your USGA card because he will ask to see it. Good luck.
