The Castle Course is the only one of the St Andrews Links courses which will be open for play in the week of the Open Championship (from July 11-18). A small number of visitor times are still available. They can be booked online or by emailing reservations@standrews.org.uk or by telephone on 0044 1334 466666.
The condition of the Old Course has been praised by a leading independent agronomy body ahead of the Open Championship. In its pre Open report for the R&A, the Sports Turf Research Institute (STRI) stated that ‘Playing qualities and turf condition to all the surfaces is excellent and where we want them to be in the final run stage to the Open’.
