A landmark hotel beside the Old Course’s famous 17th hole, combining sweeping links and West Sands views, Kohler Waters Spa, championship golf access and some of St Andrews’ most atmospheric dining.
Old Course Hotel occupies a privileged position beside the Road Hole on the Old Course at St Andrews, with views across the links, West Sands and the historic town skyline. For golfers, few hotel locations anywhere have a stronger sense of sporting history.
Rooms and suites mix contemporary comfort with Scottish references, while Old Course-facing categories provide a front-row view of the action. Large suites and the penthouse add terraces, fireplaces and exceptional panoramas for guests who want a more residential stay.
Golf naturally dominates the experience, although the hotel’s own Duke’s Course provides a reliable alternative when Old Course tee times are difficult to secure. Walking, cycling and the beach make the property equally useful for non-golfers.
Kohler Waters Spa brings hydrotherapy pools, thermal facilities and treatments to the resort. Dining ranges from the panoramic Road Hole Restaurant and rooftop Swilcan Loft to the historic Jigger Inn, one of the most characterful golf pubs in Scotland.
Old Course Hotel is best for travelers who want St Andrews history visible from the window. Its position on the 17th hole, deep golf infrastructure and strong spa make it far more than simply a place to stay between rounds.
