The 155th Open Championship will be played from 11–18 July 2027 at the iconic Old Course, St Andrews, in Scotland—celebrated worldwide as the Home of Golf. No other venue carries the same heritage: golf has been played across these links for over 600 years, and The Open has returned here more than 30 times, more than any other course on the rota. Over the centuries, St Andrews has staged many of golf’s greatest moments. From Bobby Jones’ centenary triumph in 1927 to the unforgettable victories of Jack Nicklaus, Seve Ballesteros, and Tiger Woods, legends of the game have cemented their place in history on these hallowed fairways. The Old Course is revered for its unique challenges: rolling fairways shaped by the land, cavernous bunkers, and world-famous landmarks like the Road Hole and the Swilcan Bridge. For golf fans, The Old Course represents the ultimate championship test and a true bucket-list experience.

The Old Course is the world’s most famous golf course and the very definition of links golf. Dating back to the 15th century, it evolved naturally over centuries, later refined by figures such as Old Tom Morris. Today it plays as a par 72, stretching 7,305 yards from the championship tees. Its wide fairways and double greens make it unique, but the course is anything but forgiving—deep revetted bunkers, cunning angles, and the famous Road Hole continue to test the best players in the world. Iconic landmarks like the Swilcan Bridge ensure that every round here is as much about history as it is about golf.
The Open is played over 72 holes of stroke play, with four rounds from Thursday through Sunday. A 36-hole cut is made after the second round, reducing the field to the top 70 and ties. The winner is crowned Champion Golfer of the Year and receives the Claret Jug, one of the most coveted trophies in sport. The Masters may award a Green Jacket and the U.S. Open tests players with relentless difficulty, but The Open is unique for its links challenge—wind, weather, and firm conditions all shape the outcome, demanding strategy as much as skill.
The Open Championship began in 1860 at Prestwick, making it the oldest of golf’s four majors. St Andrews first hosted in 1873, and since then it has welcomed the event more than 30 times—more than any other venue in the rota. Legendary names are forever tied to victories here, including Bobby Jones, Jack Nicklaus, Seve Ballesteros, Nick Faldo, Tiger Woods, and most recently Cameron Smith in 2022. Each return to St Andrews adds another chapter to The Open’s heritage, reaffirming its status as the most historic event in golf.
Beyond the Championship itself, St Andrews is a town steeped in history and charm. Visitors can explore the ruins of St Andrews Cathedral, once the largest church in Scotland, or stroll through the atmospheric grounds of St Andrews Castle. The University of St Andrews, founded in 1413, gives the town a vibrant academic energy, while cobbled streets are lined with boutique shops, cafés, and whisky bars. The British Golf Museum offers a deep dive into the game’s heritage, while nearby attractions include distillery tours, coastal walks along the Fife Coastal Path, and day trips to Edinburgh, just over an hour away. For golfers and non-golfers alike, St Andrews is both a pilgrimage and a holiday destination in its own right.
