The Old Course at St. Andrews is a classic. St. Andrews is the home of golf, and this has to be included on any “best golf courses” list.

St. Andrews is a course that is on the bucket list of every golf fan. I know it is for me, and it would be a treat to take in the surroundings and play just one round at St. Andrews.

St. Andrews has hosted The Open Championship twenty-nine times, twenty-one times since 1900, and four times since 2000.
