The Old Course at St Andrews is the oldest golf course in the world and
attracts thousands of visitors from around the world every year. Golf was first
played here 600 years ago. What not everyone realises is that this is a public
course, one of six which make up the St Andrews Links.
The course is known for its 112 bunkers including one of the most famous in
golf, the Road Hole bunker at the 17th hole. A peculiar feature of the layout
of the Old Course is the double greens where the outward and inward holes are
cut on the same putting surface. These large greens mean that golfers may
be faced with putts of almost 100 yards.
The Old Course was the venue for the Open Championship in 2005, the 27th
occasion on which the course has hosted the event. A particularly special
event, 2005 saw the final appearance of Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Wood's second
victory on this famous golf course.
