Your Hotel Choices

 

 

OLD COURSE HOTEL (5*+)

Along the 17th hole of the Old Course lies the most modern and comfortable hotel in St. Andrews proper, called The Old Course Hotel.  Half of the rooms face the Old Course (often sell out a year in advance), and the other half face the Eden side and practice area.  On the 4th floor is The Road Hole Restaurant, where you can have dinner with a lovely view of the course. There is also a nice lounge on the 4th floor (Road Hole Bar), with one of the world's finest golf views, and a fine collection of Single Malt Whisky.  Also on the ground floor is Sands Restaurant, a more casual eatery with “haute cuisine” and many people prefer the experience.  The hotel also boasts a beautiful spa, where a relaxing massage and sauna can cure the aches of the golf course. WWG Grade: A+

April, May, June, October and November ballot dates have the best chance of success, and Summer the smaller chance of success. Due to the rapid and frequent exchange rate changes between the US$ and most foreign currencies, the rates shown for this package may not be up to date and may not reflect current exchange rates.
