Ronnie Pook, MD and Sam TorranceBooking Process and Options
As you may know there are a number of different ways to reserve your time so we will guide you as cost efficiently as possible.

Ballot
Most days during the April to October period there is a daily ballot and a significant number of times are made available. The best months to be successful in the ballot are April and May. June is possible but July and August are very limited simply due to the number of golfers wanting to play at St Andrews at that time of year.
Please note that no ballot takes place on Sundays.
Green fee is £150 for 2012.
