ST ANDREWS GOLF
OLD COURSE BALLOT AND/OR APPROACH TO THE STARTER

Please be advised that the St Andrews Links have made many unpleasant changes to their Old Course guaranteed tee time allocation this past year......

  • Protected tour operator allocations have been discontinued.

  • St Andres hotel allocations are expected to be discontinued.

  • St Andrews Advance Booking Programme allocation offers very limited tee times.

The end result of all these unpleasant changes are a considerable increase in the cost per golfer. The cost for a 3 day St Andrews package that includes one round on the Old Course and one round on the New or Jubilee, will increase about US$1536 per golfer compared to the visitor green fee rate that applies to a Coolabar 3 day St Andrews package that includes guaranteed tee times from a successful Advance Booking Programme allocation or balloted tee times.
