The Old Course in Reverse 200617/10/2005

Today the 600-year-old course is played in an anti-clockwise route but in the days of Old Tom Morris it was played clockwise, starting on the 1st tee and driving towards the 17th green, then driving from the 18th tee to the 16th green and so on around the course, bringing a different set of hazards into play.

The Old Course will be set up in reverse for three days in 2006 – Friday 31 March, Saturday 1 April, and Monday 3 April. Golfers who wish to book in advance have a choice of three options starting at £115 for a two-round package of the Old Course and either the New Course or the Jubilee Course. Three-round packages, allowing golfers to play the Old Course in both directions, are also available.
