St Andrews Links Trust has announced the dates of ‘Old Course Reversed’ in 2025 when the famed layout will be played anticlockwise for six consecutive days.
The unique nature of the design of the course means it can be played in either clockwise or anticlockwise direction, and for many years it was played in both directions until the current clockwise routing became the norm in the 20th century.
From April 3-8 golfers will have the chance to step back in time to experience the Old Course Reversed with the return of the historic routing. Golfers will play from first tee to the 17th green, and from the 17th green to the 16th green, and the third green to the second green, and so on.
The inaugural event – launched as part of St Andrews Links Trust’s 50th anniversary celebrations – saw 591 golfers flock to the course. It is now set to be an annual event which Links Trust chief executive Neil Coulson hailed as ‘a unique experience at the Home of Golf’.
Golfers will have several ways of seeking to access a tee time through the daily ballot and digital singles list, as well as an advanced three-round public package for the Old Course, Old Course Reversed and the Castle Course which will cost £750.
