The Old Course at St Andrews, known as the "home of golf," is considered the oldest golf course in the world. Located in St Andrews, Scotland, this public course has a rich history dating back to the 15th century when Archbishop John Hamilton granted townspeople the right to play on the links. Over the years, it has hosted numerous prestigious events like The Open Championship and has been graced by legendary players like Bobby Jones. With its iconic landmarks, including the Swilcan Bridge and unique features like shared greens and historic bunkers, the Old Course continues to captivate golf enthusiasts from around the globe.
