“I fell in love with it the first day I played it. There's just no other golf course that is even remotely close” - Jack Nicklaus

“Without a doubt I like it the best of all the Open venues. It's my favourite course in the world” - Tiger Woods

The Old Course at St Andrews, host to the British Open Championship 27 times - and generally considered the benchmark against which all greats like to measure themselves.

Players should watch out for first tee nerves here more than anywhere and other than that, there’s the Swilken Burn, the Road hole and Hell bunkers to keep the interest over what must be the best course in the world to play on.
