Over the years, our partners and we have been working hard, and as we progress along this journey, we’d like your help. There are many ways you can support the Championships’ sustainability work when you visit.

Use Free Water Refills: Refill stations are available across all three courses, so you fill your reusable bottles. If you decide to buy water on site, our bottles are 100% recycled, and they’re 100% recyclable again, so do put them in the recycling bins provided. We want to ensure they become new bottles again.

Enjoy Sustainable Catering: We serve local, seasonal and sustainably sourced food and drinks in all outlets. You can also choose one of the lower carbon vegetarian options, enjoy a Fairtrade certified coffee or tea (and sugar), and sample delicious sustainably sourced Scottish seafood and ethically farmed produce.

Use Sustainable Transport: If you can use public transport to get to the Championship, that’s great. Carnoustie Train station is just a 10minute walk from the course, and regular buses link the train service in Leuchars with St Andrews and Kingsbarns. A free shuttle bus between the courses is provided on Thursday and Friday.

Protect our Nature: All three courses hold the GEO Certified mark for sustainable golf course management and are excellent stewards of our natural environment. You can find out more about the great initiatives to protect nature, conserve resources and support local communities at www.sustainable.golf/highlights. While at the Championship, please look out for protected roped-off areas, keep to the main paths, and use the recycling bins provided.

Walk the Course: Did you know that during a regular 18-hold round, most golfers will walk 4-5 miles, burning up to 2,000 calories? Not only is playing and watching golf great fun, but it’s great for your health, too, helping to prevent and treat 40 major chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart attacks. Find out more through The R&A’s Golf is Good for You project.

Champion Local Businesses: While you’re with us, do visit one of the many wonderful local businesses nearby. You’re sure to receive the world-famous warm Scottish welcome whether you’re looking for a special souvenir or enjoying a hearty local meal. And, if you’re in St Andrews, look out for the Alfred Dunhill Links Window competition!
