The Old Course at St Andrews is the oldest golf course in the world and attracts thousands of visitors from around the world every year. Golf was first played here 600 years ago. What not everyone realises is that this is a public course, one of six which make up the St Andrews Links.

The course is known for its 112 bunkers including one of the most famous in golf, the Road Hole bunker at the 17th hole. A peculiar feature of the layout of the Old Course is the double greens where the outward and inward holes are cut on the same putting surface. These large greens mean that golfers may be faced with putts of almost 100 yards.

The Old Course was the venue for the 150th anniversary Open Championship in July 2010, the 28th occasion on which the course has hosted the event.
