Short answer: St Andrews is about 50 miles and roughly 1 hour 10 minutes from Edinburgh Airport by road. Book your tee times first, then work backwards: add breakfast, warm-up and a traffic buffer, and choose a vehicle with room for your clubs.
1. Lock your tee times
Popular courses fill months ahead. Once confirmed, plan the rest of your day around them.
2. Choose the right vehicle
Two golfers can use an estate car. A four-ball with suitcases suits an 8 seater van, and bigger parties should consider the XL van. Our golf transfers page explains the options.
3. Fly into Edinburgh and go straight to the course
Book your airport pick-up through the Edinburgh Airport to St Andrews route and share your flight number. If your flight is early or late, we adjust.
4. Plan the way back
Ask for a return pick-up that leaves time for a drink and a shower, and let someone else drive after the 19th hole.
