St Andrews to cut Old Course fees to £42.50 a round

The world's most historic golf course at St Andrews is cutting the cost of playing a round to £42.50 in a bid to make the sport more accessible to Scottish players.

Between May and October, 179 tee times will be made available at the reduced price.

It means 716 golfers with Scottish postcodes will have the chance to play St Andrews' four courses at an 87.5% reduction on the regular high season green fees.

The full price of a round at the Old Course is currently £340.
