The Ballot or lottery system allows players without a guaranteed Old Course tee-time a chance to play the Old Course. The chances of success vary considerably during the high season. It may require several daily applications throughout the week and a flexible schedule to secure a tee-time on the Old Course.
Applications should be submitted before 14.00hrs two days before your intended day of play. Results will be published the same day of the application from approximately 16.30hrs.
A single player can't enter the ballot however, Scotland for Golf have created a unique package that will allow you to ballot with one of our P.G.A. Professionals. Should you be successful you will play the World Famous Old Course with a local knowledgeable P.G.A Professional. Alternatively, you can queue at the 1st tee on the day you wish to play, the earlier the better, and take a chance.
The team at Scotland for Golf will explain the ballot / lottery process in more detail and options about our unique service for single golfers. Call 01334 611466

"I'm so glad I signed up with Scotland for Golf while visiting St. Andrews. David, my instructor, was professional, attentive, and an excellent communicator. The facilities at their establishment were top notch. Since coming back home I can already see improvements in my golf game. Highly recommended for locals and tourists alike."
