How To Get a Tee Time on the Old Course at St. Andrews
The first step in planning a trip to St. Andrews is to choose a trusted and experienced golf travel specialist or tour operator that can help put you and your group in the best position to secure a tee time on the Old Course. The St. Andrews Links Trust provide a select group of operators (Authorized Providers) with assigned tee times that are guaranteed on dates throughout the year. However, if your operator doesn’t have a tee time on the dates that you want to travel then they are restricted from securing times unless they swap one with another operator.
At Distincte Golf, we chose not to seek that the Authorized Status as it would limit our ability to source guaranteed tee times on behalf of our clients. When you work with our resident expert Sean Winton, he will educate you, provide you with all of your options (Advanced Reservations (closed until mid August 2019),the daily Ballot or source a guaranteed tee time from one of the many Authorized Providers that we can search on your behalf), and based on your budget, the decision will be yours to make.
