Website design By BotEap.comGuaranteed tee times can be secured by purchasing Old Course related packages from various hotels or golf tour operators. Most of these packages include a minimum of three nights at a hotel in St. Andrews, including three rounds of golf, including a guaranteed tee time, lunch and dinner at the Old Course. There is a premium associated with these guaranteed times and this is not cheap, but book well in advance to secure your departure times.

Website design By BotEap.comAnother option open to visiting golfers is to request a time through the ballot (or lottery) that is drawn every day. This is the best way to ensure a well-priced departure time, but it does not offer a guarantee of success and is therefore often not considered ideal for foreign visitors planning ahead. However, if you want to take a chance in the draw, local B & Bs or hotels can apply on your behalf. You can vote for 2 to 4 golfers at a time.

He will try to accommodate you, in case there is a place available to play. Or if you want, why not hang out on the first tee in St. Andrews and notice that two or three golfers are teeing off, ask if you can join them?

If you played that course again you would do it differently … I found that Carnoustie was flat in parts but very tricky and the last six holes played very difficult the day I played.
