The St Andrews Pilgrimage

The Home of Golf — the Old Course's shared fairways, the Swilcan Bridge, and the Road Hole, all on the Fife coast where the game was born. Add Kingsbarns and Carnoustie and you have the original pilgrimage.

Why It's a Pilgrimage

Every golfer owes themselves one walk across the Swilcan Bridge and up the eighteenth fairway of the Old Course, the most sacred ground in the sport. The Old Course is public, ancient, and gloriously strange — double greens, blind shells, gorse, and the legend that hovers over every par. Surround it with Kingsbarns' cliff-top theater and Carnoustie's brutal finish, and Fife becomes the trip that every other golf trip is secretly trying to imitate.
