Old Course at St. Andrews Gives Golfers Chance to Play the Grounds


Since January 2017, Paul Wakolbinger has worked as a sales director for Kyriba in La Jolla, California. In this role, he deals with territory development, proposal development, and contract negotiations for the software-as-a-service (SaaS) company. In his downtime, Paul Wakolbinger enjoys playing golf and traveling, and in fact, he has golfed in Scotland.

Golf in Scotland has taken place since the 15th century. Over the years, the number of courses in the country has grown, with more than 570 by the end of 2015. Perhaps one of the most popular Scottish golf courses is the Old Course at St. Andrews, which is in Fife.

As the oldest and most notable course in the world, the Old Course is one of the few professional courses that is open to the public. However, men need a handicap of 24 and women need a handicap of 36 to play on the Old Course. Golfers must provide a copy of a valid handicap certificate prior to teeing off. 

Those interested in playing can make reservations, which need to be made several months in advance. In order to give people who were unsuccessful in making a reservation a chance to play, almost half of the tee times are allocated via a ballot. The ballot draws occur 48 hours in advance, and people must include at least two people, but no more than four, in their group.
