Tee Times
Links Trust Announces Changes
A week ago, the Links Trust, administrator of seven courses in St Andrews including the Old Course, announced that they were making a change to the daily ballot for play on the Old Course. It is a significant change. This from their press release:
Book Now for 2011
Monarchs House Drawing Room
Every year after the Open Championship is played on the Old Course in St Andrews, there is renewed interest in the town and all it has to offer. Our experience at Monarchs House only extends to 2001, after Tiger Woods won the Championship and in 2006, after Woods repeated in 2005. Our booking diary was chock-a-block then and early indications suggest that if you want to come to St Andrews and stay at Monarchs in 2011, it is time to book now.
Monarchs House is your turn-key solution for golf or touring. The price for a Saturday to Saturday let is $13,500 for 8 people. This price has held steady for 4 years and includes breakfast, 3 dinners, your first bar-setup and the services of our General Manager, Kevin Low. Kevin will arrange your golf, caddies, transportation, dinners outside of Monarchs or anything else you may need. While these “extra” are not included in the weekly price, the headache of planning a trip is not yours.
We hope to see you in the Auld Grey Toun in 2011. Slainte. 
On September 2, 2010, the Links Trust, administrator for the Old Course and 6 other St Andrews’ links, announced that 2011 demand for advance Old Course tee times was at a record setting level. If you’re thinking of a trip to Scotland, we would encourage that you book early.
Tee Times Available on the Old Course
The Royal & Ancient Golf Club and the 1st Tee & 18th Green of the Old Course
If you have ever dreamed of playing the Old Course, you might be pleased to know that this year could be the year for you to make that dream come true. Monarchs House has learned that the Old Course has guaranteed tee times available in April. It just so happens that Monarchs House has availability in April as well. The confluence of these two great pieces of news may be just what you needed to get thyself to the home of golf.
Monarchs House has availability between April 17-24, 2010. We show that there are Old Course tee times available on April 19, 20 AND 21st. Contact us if you and your group have interest and we will do everything possible to make your dream happen.
This update from the Links Trust: All of the advanced & guaranteed tee times are now sold out through October.
The daily ballot remains as the last opportunity for those looking to play a round on the Old Course in 2010.
