St Andrews Old Course is the Home of Golf and should be on top of every single golfer's bucket list.

It is arguably the most famous golf course in the world, and what makes it even better is that it is accessible to the public.

Advance applications have opened for you to play in the 2020 season with four options available: High Season, Shoulder Season, Low Season and Single Golfer.

He manages the Golf Monthly news team as well as our large Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages. He covered the 2022 Masters from Augusta National as well as five Open Championships on-site including the 150th at St Andrews.

He has been obsessed with the sport since the age of 8 and currently plays off of a six handicap. His golfing highlights are making albatross on the 9th hole on the Hotchkin Course at Woodhall Spa, shooting an under-par round, playing in the Aramco Team Series on the Ladies European Tour and making his one and only hole-in-one at the age of 15 - a long time ago now!
