Hole up at St Andrews

You don’t have to be a golfer to enjoy the Old Course Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa which overlooks the 17th Road Hole of Old Course in St Andrews. But if you are a golfer and love a smooth dram, this five-star property will provide you with championship fairways and views that stretch beyond West Sands Beach on the rugged Scottish coastline. With an underground tunnel that leads to the ruins of St Andrew’s Cathedral and an even plusher corridor that takes you to its luxurious Kohler Waters Spa and the lavishly-designed rooms by French interior designer, Jacques Garcia, you may never want to leave. Adding to sweet temptations is the local, seasonal fare at the award-winning Road Hole Restaurant. To round off the day, enjoy a selection of rare whiskeys at the Road Hole Bar, the town’s most luxurious 19th hole. oldcoursehotel.co.uk
