Many of our properties are perfect for large groups and golf enthusiasts and are less than a 5 minute walk to some of the most famous courses.

From the egalitarian access to its courses to the breath-taking coastal scenery, it’s a place where golf transcends status and becomes a shared experience.

• Seven public courses make up the St Andrews Links, including the iconic Old Course, which dates back over 600 years.
• The Old Course is the only one requiring a handicap (24 for men, 36 for women)—but even just walking its fairways on a Sunday when it’s closed to play is a treat2.
• Beyond the Links, there are three additional courses in town: The Duke’s, and the Fairmont’s Torrance and Kittocks Courses, each offering a unique challenge and stunning views.
• The Royal and Ancient Golf Club isn’t just prestigious—it’s also one of the governing bodies of the sport globally.
• And for those who prefer stories to swings, the R&A World Golf Museum brings the game’s history to life with interactive exhibits and rare memorabilia.

Whether you’re chasing birdies or just soaking in the atmosphere, St Andrews offers a rare blend of tradition, accessibility, and charm. St Andrews is also the perfect base for exploring nearby hidden gems like Kingsbarns or Crail?
