Golf Packages and Gift Options at St Andrews Links

Updated

St Andrews Links offers several ways to buy golf beyond a single round: golf packages, group packages, corporate packages, and academy packages, plus gift cards, golf lessons, custom fitting, a driving range, and junior golf programs. The official site lists these as separate sections under its Golf and Offers & Packages menus. Exact contents, prices, and booking conditions for each package are not published in the page material reviewed here, so confirm details directly with St Andrews Links before committing.

Package Types Listed on the Site

The site groups its packaged offerings under Offers & Packages:

Package type Who it appears suited for
Golf Packages Individual golfers or small groups building a trip around play
Group Packages Larger parties organizing a shared visit
Corporate Packages Businesses arranging client or staff golf
Academy Packages Players combining instruction with play

Each is presented as its own category rather than a single menu of fixed products. That suggests the contents are arranged around the buyer's situation, but the site excerpt does not spell out what each includes. Treat the table above as a guide to which section to open, not as a description of included rounds, meals, or accommodation.

Gift Cards

Gift cards are listed as a standalone item under Offers & Packages. The page material confirms they exist but does not state denominations, validity periods, or where they can be redeemed. If you are buying one as a present, ask which facilities and services accept it before purchase.

Instruction, Practice, and Junior Golf

Alongside packages, the site lists:

  • Golf lessons — bookable through the site, with a "Book a golf lesson" link on the homepage.
  • Academy — a dedicated section, with academy packages among the packaged offers.
  • Driving range — listed under the golf facilities.
  • Custom fitting — listed as a service.
  • Junior golf — a separate program area.

These are services rather than gifts, but they are the practical alternatives if a gift card feels too open-ended. A lesson or fitting gives the recipient a specific experience; a gift card leaves the choice to them.

Booking and Practical Steps

  1. Open the Offers & Packages section and choose the package category that matches your group size and purpose.
  2. For tee times, use the Book a tee time link. Note that the Old Course is handled separately through the Old Course Ballot, with a ballot results page.
  3. Check the Busy dates page before fixing travel plans.
  4. For lessons, use the lesson booking link; for academy programs, start from the Academy section.
  5. Sign up for the newsletter if you want updates on tee times and offers — the site promotes this as the way to receive news and exclusive offers.

What to Confirm Before Buying

The site material does not cover package prices, what each package includes, cancellation terms, or gift card conditions. Before paying, ask specifically:

  • What is included in the package (rounds, tuition, dining, facilities)?
  • Are dates fixed or flexible, and do busy dates affect availability?
  • What are the cancellation and transfer rules?
  • Where can a gift card be used, and does it expire?

For visiting logistics more broadly — dress codes, caddie services, and clubhouse facilities — see the "Before Your Round" and "Clubhouses & Facilities" sections, which sit alongside the packages menu.
