— St. Andrews, United Kingdom —
The Old Course Hotel overlooks the legendary Road Hole — the 17th hole of the Old Course at St. Andrews, widely considered the most famous and feared hole in golf history. As a Preferred Platinum property, guests enjoy elevated perks and impeccable service. The hotel's Kohler Waters Spa is a world-class retreat, while the Road Hole Restaurant delivers stunning panoramic views of the links and the West Sands beach. St. Andrews itself is the "Home of Golf," with records of play on the Old Course dating back to 1552 — making this one of the most historically charged addresses on earth.
Stroll into the charming town of St. Andrews to explore the ruins of St. Andrews Cathedral, once the largest cathedral in Scotland, and the medieval St. Andrews Castle. The British Golf Museum, just steps from the hotel, is a must for any golf enthusiast. After a round, unwind with a dram of Scotch whisky at the hotel's Jigger Inn — a legendary 19th-century former stationmaster's lodge and one of Scotland's most beloved pub experiences.
