The Old Course Hotel Golf Resort and Spa in St Andrews has reopened following a £10million, three-month–long refurbishment.

The Old Course Hotel, Golf Resort and Spa has undergone a soft internal refurbishment of 103 of its 144 bedrooms. This includes changes to the room décor and the introduction of features such as USB charging points, ergonomic electrical outlets for flexible working with closet lighting also included.

Whilst The Old Course Hotel Golf Resort and Spa enjoys a great location alongside the famous 17th Road Hole on the St Andrews Old Course, it also has its drawbacks.

The hotel’s 28-year-old slate roof has been hammered by stray golf balls over the years leading to a considerable amount of damage.

To rectify the problem The Old Course Hotel Golf Resort and Spa has installed a rubber roof designed to absorb and deflect the energy from golf ball impact without any dents, cracks or future damage.

A further £7million is now to be spent at the Old Course Hotel Golf Resort and Spa upgrading the spa and leisure facilities which will include a new pool and a larger gym.

Future projects include the launch of an elite sports facility.
