At the home of Golf, there are a variety of ways to get exposure to the sport. I’ll explain here more about private lessons, the courses, and the nature of tourism.
Private Lessons at the Academy
I was able to afford lessons over the course of the semester. My instructor was very knowledgable and catered to my skill sets. While also strengthening the basics and learning new techniques. The driving range is highly equipped and spacious, which makes for a fun activity to go with your friends. In my experience, I would hit balls after lectures to clear my head. You can also expect a student discount which helps a lot with affording to play.
Old Course
The Old Course is beautiful. It’s very integral with the town and culture at St Andrews. You’re able to walk through it during closures and I enjoyed watching from the Road Hole Bar located in the Old Course Hotel.
Nature of Tourism
The golf seasons brings in various crowds to the town. You can expect to see professionals and your favorite celebrities around the block. During the peaks, we experienced a lot of people visiting the town so expect a busy Market Street.
