Yes, you are allowed to change the golfer names on the application if successful, but the Lead Golfer name must remain the same. St. Andrews will allow 1-2 name changes at no additional cost, but any further changes will result in fees. Name changes must be handled directly between you and St Andrews.

For 2026 St Andrews reduced the maximum group size for a single application from 8 to 4 golfers. Each application can only include a maximum of 4 golfers. Should you have more than 4 golfers in your group, you will need to submit multiple applications (but not duplicates). We will advise on the best strategy for this prior to the…

Once the application has opened, we will send our recommended dates to the Lead Golfer. These recommendations will be based on your intended travel plans, as well as include advice on the additional two windows of dates that you will be able to apply for. The dates that we will provide you are merely our recommendation. If you have to…

St. Andrews requires that one member of the group be designated as the “Lead Golfer”. The Lead Golfer is responsible for submitting the application.

You will receive an email directly from St. Andrews that will announce your Old Course tee time. You will then need to pay St Andrews directly for the entire group’s green fees by the stated deadline, which is typically October 31st. If you do not pay by the deadline, your tee times will be canceled and allocated to someone else….

The results will be emailed directly to you sometime during the last week of October or first week of November.

No, you may only submit one application per foursome. St Andrews checks for names submitted on more than one application and will disqualify those applications. 

The application must be submitted any time during the day the process opens and the day it closes. There is no advantage to submitting your the application on the first day versus the final day since it’s not based on a first-come, first-served basis. We recommend you do not wait until the last day in case you have technical issues.

Once the application window has opened, we will provide you detailed instructions by email on how to submit your application. The application is submitted online directly through St. Andrews’ website by you (St Andrews prohibits us from doing it for you). You will need to create an account, and then fill out the application. Once you hit submit on the…
