If you're planning a golf vacation, there's nothing quite like paying a visit to the legendary St. Andrews Old Course. According to some estimates, golf was played at St. Andrews nearly 100 years before Columbus discovered America. St. Andrews is considered the home of golf, dating back to the 15th century.

The world-famous Old Course at St. Andrews is easily the most visited of all the courses. The Old Course originally featured 22 holes, and the decision to combine some of the holes and shorten the course may have influenced the design of golf courses all over the world. Today, this 18-hole course features one of the most difficult holes of any course in the world, the 17th hole. For tourists, the Old Course at St. Andrews is an absolute must.
In addition to the Old Course, St. Andrews has several other courses worth checking out. The New Course and the Jubilee Course both feature amazing views of the Scottish countryside, rolling fairways, and their share of challenging holes. The wind plays a major factor in your strategy out on the greens, forcing even top-rated professionals to play smarter.
