Old Course Hotel St Andrews

The Old Course Hotel in St Andrews is rated as an AA Five Red Star property, which is the highest accolade awarded by the AA (equivalent to AAA in the USA). Bordering the renowned 17th ‘Road Hole’ of the Old Course and with spectacular views across the beautiful West Sands beach, The Old Course Hotel exudes pure luxury and charm with 175 lavish bedrooms and suites, an array of award-winning dining options and outstanding Kohler Waters Spa.

Golf Courses

St Andrews is the most famous golfing town in the world, with the Old Course being the jewel in the crown. At the ‘home of golf’ there are 7 courses to choose from, with the New, Jubilee and Castle Courses being the best, and some would say better layouts than the Old. Other big names within an easy drive of St Andrews are Carnoustie and Kingsbarns, and for some pure Scottish hidden gems, we highly recommend Crail and Elie.
