For any golf enthusiast, The Old Course, St. Andrews is quite simply, the Holy Grail! As one of a select few of golf tour operators who are officially approved by the St. Andrews Links Trust to sell guaranteed tee times on the Old Course, we are allocated a limited amount of tee times each year which generally sell out 15-18 months in advance. We are currently taking requests for the 2026 season.

​

Alternatively, there are other ways to obtain tee times on The Old Course, details of which are given below.. 

​

Direct Public Allocation

The St. Andrews Links Trust accepts applications for Old Course tee times on the last week of August and first week of September each year for the following season. The selection process is based on a lottery, and successful applicants are notified in October. We will be happy to help guide you through this process, however, the lead person must personally apply directly to The Links Trust St. Andrews.

​

The Ballot System

The ballot system works by entering your names, home golf clubs and handicaps to the Links Trust online before 14.00 pm, two days prior to the day you wish to play. (i.e. Apply Tuesday for play on a Thursday). We are happy to manage and guide you through this process and will be able to let you know which days offer a better chance of success as the amount of ballot times can vary from day to day, however please be aware the Old Course is closed every Sunday. The ballot results are then posted at 16.00 pm on the day of the application and if successful you will be notified of your tee time. If unsuccessful, golf within the St Andrews area can be re-scheduled and we can also adjust your itinerary based on The Old Course ballot results.
