I'm not a golfer or even remotely keen on golf, but our guest was. The course is lovely, right next to the beach and within stroke-distance (see what I did there? 😉) of the Golf Museum, Aquarium, Monument, Marker Street, beach, tidal pools, etc. The bridge is easily accessed, but be sure to WAIT for the players to complete their time on that hole, and cross the bridge BEFORE taking your snaps. And please ... don't be an InstaTwat and hog all the time posing. Even as a non-enthusiast, I was happy to have seen it.

it's a small thing in the golf field. if you are not playing golf, ppl will be rude to ask you to leave. (for your own safety). even they are only taking picture on the bridge. I guess they (thought they) have monopolised it. Will never go there again

Magical experience taking a beverage from the nearby bar and finishing it off on the bridge, surrounded by history. If you’re in the town of Saint Andrew, take a stroll and take in how many legendary golfers have walked those steps.

Wahnsinn eine Brücke auf einem Golfplatz, verrückt was es alles gibt. Leider ist diese abgesperrt und wir konnten nicht drüber streiten. Anscheinend mussten in der letzten Zeit so viele Ronnys dort Fotos gemacht haben das der Rasen kaputt war und erneuert werden musste. Also man könnte ruhig mal etwas Mitleid mit den Armen Golfern zeigen und nicht ihren schönen Rasen zertrampeln, das kann man denen ja nicht zumuten diesen Anblick. Zudem muss der gemeine Golfer jetzt auf eine der hässlichen normalen nicht privilegierten Brücken für das Volk ausweichen um den Fluss zu queren, Frechheit!

Impossible no fer la (petita) cua que hi ha per a fer-se una foto en aquest petit pont encantador, al bell mig de l'Old Course, que, pel que diuen, és el camp de golf més antic del món. Tot travessant el camp en direcció al mar, arribem de seguida a la West Sands, enorme i bonica platja de sorra fina i compacta, a on es va rodar l'escena inicial de la pel·lÃcula Carros de Foc.
