Advance Booking Package (Two Courses)

The two course package is a fantastic way to experience Links Golf and get a coveted tee time on the fabled Old Course. Golfers can apply for a round on the Old Course and a round on one of our other five 18-Hole courses here at St Andrews Links. This can include the Championship New, Jubilee and the award winning Castle Course. This is the perfect opportunity to explore the Home of Golf.

How to Book:

1) Pick your Dates
- Tee-times are allocated on a first come first served basis so maximise your chances by choosing dates when the Courses are quiet. Busy dates for each course can be found by clicking here. Due to annual commitments, the Old Course in August is an extremely busy month.
- September is heavily committed to competitions and therefore no private advance bookings are accepted on the Old Course.

2) Lead Golfer
- Nominate a lead golfer on behalf of your group to deal with all correspondence.

3) Apply Online
- The lead golfer should fill out the application below and email it to reservations@standrews.org.uk from 10am (BST) on Wednesday 7th September 2011.
- Single golfers should fill out the Single Golfer application form and submit as above.

4) Successful Applications
The lead golfer for your party will be notified by email within 8 weeks at which point payment should be made in advance. As this is a very busy time, we ask that you do not contact us during this period while the applications are being processed.
