challenge and excitement of a round the "Home of Golf." From this enviable
location, the Golf Hotel provides breath-taking views over St. Andrew's Bay and
the Links, together with the convenience of easy commuting to a host of
attractive, lesser known courses. As well as meeting the needs, and more, of the
golf enthusiast, St. Andrews Golf Hotel is an ideal base for exploring the
historic 'Kingdom of Fife' and, simply being out and about in amenable, relaxing
St. Andrews, is a tonic in itself. The Golf Hotel is a fine example of a
traditional Scottish Hotel, the building being a handsome specimen of late
Victorian architecture. Following a day on the links you can enjoy the very best
of Scottish produce, game, fish landed that day, Scottish beef and fresh
vegetables. These highly regarded dishes are complemented by an extensive and

course is and the weather. A minimum two golfers can enter. The handicap limit
