In a rare throwback, golf writer Josh Sens tees off on The Old Course at St. Andrews exactly as it was meant to be played—clockwise, or “reverse routing,” the original layout until the late 1800s. You start on the 1st tee and play to the 17th green, then jump from the 18th tee back to the 16th green, unlocking new strategic angles and a completely different feel than today’s counter-clockwise rounds.
This one-of-a-kind experience lives on just a few days each year, giving modern golfers a shot at stepping back into the game’s storied past. Check out GOLF.com for the full video, behind-the-ropes access, and all the history and quirks that make reverse routing a bucket-list golf adventure.
