St Andrews and The Kingdom of Fife - where golf began! Most of our golf packages include a stop in the town of St Andrews to not only golf, but to walk the ancient streets of the "Auld Grey Toon", visit the British Golf Museum, and stroll the ruins of St Andrews Cathedral with the graves of Old Tom and Young Tom Morris.
