St. Andrews is consistently ranked as one of the top courses in the World by Golf Magazine's panel of experts.
Every golfer needs to pay a visit to St. Andrews and play the Old Course before sinking life's final putt. Some golf pilgrimages are prohibitively expensive to be a regular pleasure, or too exclusive to be more than a fantasy. But for golfers armed with a sense of history and a valid passport, the promise of golf is realized at St. Andrews.
Nowhere else in the world can you walk in the spike marks of every legendary figure to have played the game -- be it with gutta perchas or Pro V1s. (OK, so Hogan never played here, but he stands alone.) Augusta National is rightfully hallowed, but Bobby Jones himself said that if he had to play only one course for the rest of his days he'd grow old on the Old.
Only here do golfers hope to encounter unforgiving hazards and unlikely gambles. No four-ball makes it through No. 17 without a recounting of the Sands of Nakajima, yet the lure of trying to escape the Road Hole bunker is irresistible. So, too, is the foolhardy temptation to try to draw a drive around the chimney of the Old Course Hotel--just like Arnie in his heyday.
St. Andrews is not just about the greats who went before -- it's about the so-so golfers who keep coming and the townsfolk who tend to the game's greatest muni. The Old Course is a living church where pilgrims don't have to sing from the same hymnbook. There is no correct way to play it. Golfers must become explorers (part Eldrick Woods, part Ernest Shackleton) to navigate their way around the ancient links. -- Eamon Lynch, from Reasons to Visit St. Andrews
The St. Andrews Links Trust includes six other courses: New, Jubilee, Eden, Strathtyrum, Balgove and Castle. For more information, go to standrews.org.uk.
