Old Course, Rewound

Imagine teeing off at St Andrews and playing every hole in reverse—clockwise instead of the modern counter-clockwise routing. Until the late 1800s, golfers navigated the links by going from the 1st tee to the 17th green, then 18 to 16, and so on. In a special video, Josh Sens gets rare access to experience the course just as its designers intended, unveiling fresh angles, hidden strategies, and the unique challenges of “reverse routing.”

This tradition still pops up for a handful of days each year, letting players rediscover the Old Course’s original flow. Whether you’re a history buff or just chasing a one-of-a-kind golf adventure, this rewind at St Andrews is a bucket-list experience.
