The Old Course Experience, the official commercial partners of the St Andrews Links Trust, announce details of the opportunity to be among the first people to play the Old Course, St Andrews with a guaranteed tee-time after the 134th Open Championships has reached its conclusion.

The Open returns to St Andrews for the 27th time in 2005 and a unique program has been created that combines playing some of Scotland's finest golf courses, including the 'Old Lady' herself, with watching the drama of the final two days of the Open unfold.
In 2000 when the Open was last held at St Andrews over 235,000 people watched the Championship and many went on to apply for a tee-time through the traditional daily ballot, leading to inevitable disappointment for most. The Deluxe Open Program offered by the Old Course Experience allows golfers to travel to St Andrews safe in the knowledge their tee-time at the Home of Golf is already secured.

The opportunity to play the course after the Open, with a guaranteed start time, is available as part of the Deluxe Open Program offered by The Old Course Experience that includes:

A round on the Old Course, Carnoustie, Kingsbarns, New and the Dukes Courses
Five nights accommodation in the Apex City Quay & Spa Hotel, Dundee and Three Nights accommodation in the Old Course Hotel, with breakfast daily.

Return transfers and admission to the Open for the final two days of the Open.
A Welcome Dinner & Casino evening and a Gala Dinner with Scottish Dancing.
Full management, official merchandise and a souvenir photo on the 1st Tee of the Old Course.

Prices from US$6295 per golfer
Itineraries that include a round on a variety of local courses, from Panmure to Royal Troon or spectating at two or four Championship days at the Open are also available. Prices from US$ 2185 per person.

The Old Course Experience has a worldwide exclusive contract with the St. Andrews Links Trust to guarantee start-times on the Old Course, St Andrews. Times are included in luxury golf programs that are available from April to October each year. In addition they organize the 4th Father and Son Tournament, (16th - 21st April 2005) on the Old Course, St Andrews.
