Where better to spend your downtime in St Andrews and Fife than the Old Course Hotel, situated on the very grounds where golf began. The hotel, golf, and spa resort is just as stately and refined as the course itself, but it blends a sense of class and tradition with modern elegance to create the most luxurious 5-star setting. Be sure to book a suite overlooking the Old Course and beyond to West Sands Beach. You might just get a glimpse of a hopeful golfer conquering the 17th hole.

For an even more life-defining experience, stay in one of the Old Course Hotel’s Hamilton Grand apartments, situated above the Royal and Ancient headquarters. These spacious two-bedroom ensuite apartments come complete with a 24-hour butler and full use of the hotel’s enviable spa and dining facilities. Amongst them are the award-winning Road Hole restaurant, Hams Hame sports bar, and The Jigger Inn, the most famous pub in golf.
