St Andrews is getting ready to welcome the golfing world once again. The 155th Open Championship will take place on the Old Course from 11 to 18 July 2027. It will be the first time the event has returned since the record-breaking 150th Open in 2022, when more than 290,000 fans came to watch Cameron Smith lift the Claret Jug after a stunning final round.
The 2027 Championship will also mark a special anniversary. It will be 100 years since Bobby Jones won The Open at St Andrews in 1927, one of the most iconic moments in golf history. Expect the town to be alive with excitement as fans, players and media gather for another historic week.
Book Accommodation and Travel Early
If you plan to visit, start making arrangements now. Accommodation prices are already rising for Open week, with some homes listed for tens of thousands of pounds. Even smaller apartments and guesthouses are filling up quickly. Hotels and self-catering properties will become harder to find as the date approaches.
The Open attracts visitors from all over the world, and the demand for transport, dining and local services is always intense. Planning ahead will save stress and help you enjoy the event to the full.
Getting Around St Andrews
During The Open, traffic and parking in St Andrews are heavily restricted. Many streets close or have limited access, and parking spaces become scarce. Taxis are one of the easiest ways to move around, whether you need to reach the course, your hotel, or nearby towns and train stations.
St Andrews Taxis will be operating throughout the Championship, providing reliable local transport for visitors, residents and workers. Our drivers know the area well and can help you navigate the busy week without the hassle of parking or long walks.

The Open at St Andrews is more than a golf tournament. It is a world-famous celebration that transforms the town and fills it with energy. If you are planning to attend, now is the time to book accommodation, organise your travel and think about how you will get around once you are here.
