The Old Course at St. Andrews is on every golfer’s bucket list, and it’s often listed by the game’s biggest stars as their favorite course.
But it’s not always love at first sight with the Home of Golf.
Waves aren’t crashing against the course like at Pebble Beach. There isn’t the “I-can’t-believe-I-made-it-inside-the-gates” feeling of Augusta National. And outside of the Road Hole 17th and No. 18, none of the holes really stick out.
You can't even curse the architect when your ball lands in a pot bunker, because, well, it's not exactly clear who designed the course in the early 1400s.
