Fodor's Expert Review Old Course Hotel

Old Station Rd., St. Andrews, Fife, KY16 9SP, Scotland

Regularly hosting international golf stars and jet-setters, the Old Course Hotel has much-coveted guest room fairway views, grand public spaces, and fabulous facilities including a swanky spa. Walk along the beach to work up an appetite, then have dinner in either the fine-dining Road Hole, rooftop Swilcan Loft, or the more relaxed Hams Hame Bar & Grill. The best of the bars is the famous Jigger Inn, the old stationmaster's lodge turned cozy 19th hole. If the budget won't stretch to a stay, pop in for the genteel afternoon tea, served overlooking the Old Course itself, from £32.50 per person.
