Playing The Old Course in Reverse is a rare chance to tackle St Andrews exactly as it was meant to be played—in a clockwise loop through the historic links. In a new video, golf writer Josh Sens explores this once-standard routing, highlighting how fairways, greens, and angles shift the strategy in surprising ways compared to today’s counter-clockwise layout.
Held just a few days a year, this backward round offers a fresh perspective on the course’s 17th and 18th holes, delves into the Old Course’s 19th-century roots, and reminds us why St Andrews is the spiritual home of golf. Whether you’re into course history or just love a novel challenge, watching this reverse routing is a must.
