HeritageGolf was born at St Andrews in the 15th century - the St Andrews Links Trust - the R&A headquarters - golf history walking tour

The Old Course Hotel at St Andrews is one of the most iconic golf hotels in the world - positioned beside the legendary 17th Road Hole fairway of the Old Course at St Andrews Links, the birthplace of golf where the game has been played since the 15th century. The hotel was recognised in the Conde Nast Traveller Gold List as one of Europe's leading luxury hotels and is home to the only Kohler Waters Spa in the United Kingdom, the celebrated Road Hole Restaurant with panoramic Old Course views, and guaranteed access to the most coveted tee times in the history of the game.

The Old Course View Suite offers the most privileged accommodation at the hotel - floor-to-ceiling views over the 17th Road Hole and the Old Course fairways, plush beds with soft textiles, and the experience of slow mornings watching the world's most historic links from the suite window. The Road Hole Restaurant serves seasonal Scottish fine dining with the same Old Course panorama, and the Road Hole Bar below the restaurant provides the most atmospheric pre-dinner experience in golf.

The St Andrews golf history tour reveals the extraordinary heritage of the world's most significant golf site - the R&A headquarters, the Swilcan Bridge, the first tee and the 18th green, the birthplace of the rules of golf, and the stories of every Open Championship played on the Old Course. The Scotch whisky tasting experience at the Old Course Hotel draws on the single malts of the Scottish Lowlands and the hotel's curated whisky collection, guided by the hotel's whisky specialist.
