Parking Arrangements

Spectator parking will be available free of charge and located on the Balgove course, a short walking distance from the championship’s main entrance. Spectators will be directed to here by AA road signage and access will only be available from the A91.

Parking restrictions on the main routes to and from the course will be in place to support traffic flow and prevent on-street parking by spectators.

Police Scotland will deploy traffic officers to direct traffic at key junctions.

For further information, please visit www.aigwomensopen.com/tickets-and-hospitality/getting-there and the Local Residents page for information on residents and business parking.

Travelling by Train

ScotRail provides train services from destinations across Scotland to Leuchars – the nearest station to St Andrews.

Spectators can take advantage of a special ‘rail and bus’ GolfLink ticket for travel to the Championship between Wednesday 21 and Sunday 25 August.

The two-in-one GolfLink ticket includes return rail travel to Leuchars as well as Stagecoach bus transport to and from the course.

For further information, please visit www.aigwomensopen.com/tickets-and-hospitality/getting-there and www.scotrail.co.uk for the latest timetable information.

Coach Parking

In an effort to minimise the number of coaches in the town centre during the AIG Women’s Open, a coach passenger drop off/pick up point has been established within the main public parking area on the Balgove course. AA event signage will direct coaches to this location.

Temporary Traffic Restrictions

Some roads in the vicinity of the golf course will be closed or restricted to one-way traffic in order to improve traffic flow around the venue. These restrictions will be enforced by Police Scotland.

In addition, key routes will be subject to no parking and no-waiting restrictions to keep traffic moving. These restrictions will be enforced by Fife Council.
