Golfers around the world like to play The Old Course at St Andrews which has been the game’s spiritual home for over 300 years.
Legend has it that the game of golf has been played out on the links since the beginning of the 12th Century, when shepherds clipped small stones into rabbit burrows with crude and very basic clubs.
The game of golf was made illegal in 1457 by King James II for the simple reason that it was distracting men from their main discipline which in those days was archery practice.
In 1552, the town’s right to play golf on the links was officially established.
Two hundred years later the Society of St Andrews Golfers decided to have 18 holes instead of 22, creating the current worldwide format.
Since then The Royal and Ancient G.C. has been involved in developing the game and St Andrews became known as the ‘Home of Golf’. AGS specialise in St Andrews Golf Packages
