Bordering the legendary 17th ‘Road Hole’ of the Old Course, the Old Course Hotel Golf Resort & Spa holds the most coveted address in the sport. The 144 rooms and suites blend classic Scottish character with contemporary comfort, and dining options span the acclaimed Road Hole Restaurant, the informal Sands Grill, The Jigger Inn and The Duke’s Bar & Grill. The Kohler Waters Spa — first of its kind outside the United States — includes a 20-metre pool, hydrotherapy pool and thermal suite.
Staying here puts a St Andrews golf break at its most immersive. Waking up beside the world’s most famous linksland lends an occasion to every round that simply cannot be replicated. The Duke’s Championship Course, owned by the hotel, provides a contrasting parkland test on days when the Old Course ballot doesn’t come through, with sweeping views across the Kingdom of Fife.
St Andrews town — excellent restaurants, historic university buildings and convivial bars — is a short stroll away, so evenings look after themselves without any planning. For UK golfers and American visitors seeking the definitive Scotland golf holiday, this is the address: bucket-list golf, five-star comfort and a sense of place that endures long after the trip.
