St Andrews Golf Holidays and Breaks

Heritage town vibes, firm coastal links and walk-to-dinner convenience — St Andrews is golf’s heart.

Your Next Golf Break in St Andrews: Old-World Heritage & Coastal Links Magic

St Andrews is the spiritual home of golf — cobbled streets, historic clubhouses and a sweep of world-famous links along the Fife coast. Expect firm-running fairways, strategic bunkering and sea-breeze shot-making, with walkable hotels, pubs and restaurants set minutes from the first tee.

Base yourself in St Andrews town for a car-free stay, or use the East Neuk fishing villages as a quiet coastal retreat with ultra-short transfers.

Why Book a Golf Holiday to St Andrews?

  • Play a dense cluster of celebrated links in and around town, plus inland options for variety
  • Pure links conditions: fast turf, rumbling contours and classic strategy over brute force
  • Walkable base: hotels, pubs, restaurants and beaches all within easy reach
  • Simple logistics via Edinburgh Airport and Fife’s coastal routes; compact self-drive itineraries
  • Ideal for couples and small groups seeking bucket-list golf with minimal travel stress
  • Plenty to add on: castle ruins, coastal paths, the Old Course skyline and East Neuk harbours
  • Flight-inclusive, ATOL-protected packages available on request

The Ultimate Guide to Golf Hotels in St Andrews

  • Town-centre hotels and guesthouses put you steps from restaurants, beaches and multiple first tees — perfect for sunrise strolls and golden-hour finishes.
  • Resort-style properties on the town fringe add on-site leisure, spa and dining, with shuttle or short drives to the courses for an “arrive, unpack, relax” setup.
  • Prefer extra calm? East Neuk bases (Crail, Anstruther, Elie) offer boutique coastal inns with short transfers back to St Andrews and neighbouring links.
  • Build a balanced plan: one marquee links day, one neighbouring coastal classic, and (optionally) a more sheltered inland/parkland round if the breeze kicks up. Par5 Escapes can pace tee times and match hotel style to your budget, handicap mix and preferred travel window.
