On a recent golf trip of a lifetime to St. Andrews I was reminded that golf is more than just a game. It is a way of life in some parts of the world. There is no better example than St. Andrews. The seven courses that make up St. Andrews are almost intertwined with the medieval city itself. The Old Course is the most famous of the seven, but the other six tracks are all superb in there own right.
If you are are going to make a trip to St. Andrews I highly recommend staying in town and playing the immediate St. Andrews courses. There are some other well known courses in the surrounding area such as Carnoustie and Kingsbarnes, each requiring a good hours drive each way from the town of St. Andrews. But the seven courses at St. Andrews all border each other (with the exception of the Castle course) and are easily accessible from the town. Not only that, they are all fun to play and being able to finish your round and have a pint in hand within 10 minutes is hard to beat.
