There is no more spectacular location in all of St Andrews. This fine resort hotel overlooks the manicured acres of its namesake Old Course and across to the sea beyond. It’s an elegantly informal haven of luxury, warm hospitality and exquisite dining.
Already one of Europe's finest five-star resorts, the Old Course Hotel has recently undergone a multi-million pound refurbishment, lifting it to unprecedented new heights in luxury. Situated alongside the hallowed 17th 'Road Hole' of the legendary Old Course, the hotel offers a warm welcome in the finest tradition of Scottish hospitality and a unique choice of restaurants and bars.
A completely new concept for the UK, the 'Kohler Waters Spa' opens fully in March with eleven treatment rooms and the wonderfully innovative thermal suite featuring hydrotherapy pool, plunge pool, Japanese salt steam room and a light therapy sauna. These final touches come together with the indoor pool featuring a spectacular waterfall, fitness suite, exercise studio, crystal steam room and nail studio to provide one of Europe's most stunning spas. The stunning transformation of the Duke's golf course reinforces its position as Scotland's finest heathland course and makes it a refreshing alternative to the St Andrews links. The rolling terrain provides spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and the 'auld grey toon' by the sea.
St Andrews is renowned worldwide as “The Home of Golf” with no less than 10 courses in the immediate area and more than 30 within a half-hour’s drive. The 10 courses in the town, which suit all player levels, make St Andrews the largest golf complex in Europe and the world’s leading golf destination. Championship courses in the immediate area include the famous Old Course golf links, the New Course, the hotel's own Duke's St Andrews and Kingsbarns.
