The 150^th Open Championship, scheduled for St Andrews (July 15-18, 2010), will be a historic event, and likely to produce a proven champion (the last 2 British Opens at St Andrews were won by Tiger Woods in 2000 and 2005).  Wide World of Golf has rooms in 3 hotels and you can choose from staying close by at The Fairmont St Andrews, or in the nearby towns of Carnoustie or Edinburgh.  Book early – the Open at St Andrews always sells out fast!

The Old Course St Andrews

Whereas visitor tees are between 6500 and 6710 yards, the Open Championship at St Andrews Old Course will play at about 7279 yards and par 72.  When Tiger Woods won in 2000, he played the entire four round tournament without hitting in one bunker, once thought impossible. Woods won again in 2005 (The Open is now held at St Andrews every 5 years) and will be looking for an Old Course three-peat in 2010!

"St Andrews is where all the greats want to win an Open, and the site where they can validate a Hall of Fame career.” – Bill Hogan - Wide World of Golf President

We have full time, local staff in your destination who personally knows the local golf course managers, golf professionals, caddy masters, hoteliers, restaurateurs, etc. Our staff is always on call and will visit with you and keep in contact with you frequently during the trip. We do not use sub-contractors or destination management companies like most operators – we negotiate directly with the suppliers on your behalf and often get preferred tee times or reservations that are often otherwise unavailable. All of our hand-picked, annually reviewed hotels are excellent and the room types are shown and consult us if you require higher room categories.  Your tour is based on using certain exchange rates as of today – the tour price can change if dramatic exchange rate fluctuations occur (same if you were paying by a credit card direct). Travel insurance information is available upon request, will be forwarded to you at time of deposit, and is highly recommended. After final payment has been received, our office will forward a detailed, bound itinerary with local staff information, hotel contact lists, travel tips, restaurant recommendations, hotel and golf descriptions, sightseeing descriptions, and interesting reading such as Malt Whisky tours and history.
