Video #11: The Old Course at St Andrews, Scotland

Gordon Dalgleish

Old Course St Andrews ScotlandTruly it’s remarkable that the game of golf continues to revolve around the course that gave it birth over 600 years ago.  It’s all the more impressive when you consider that aside from some new tees and an irrigation system, nothing’s changed all that much at the world’s 4th ranked golf course since 1764 when 22 holes were reconfigured to 18. Meanwhile the game and its players have gone from the Stone Age to the Space Age, and yet, in July of 2015 the Old Course at St Andrews will host the Open Championship for the 29th time – a run that began in 1873.

Road Hole Restaurant’s New Dining Concept

PerryGolf Staff

In my opinion, the view from the Road Hole Restaurant in the Old Course Hotel, St Andrews is as good as it gets.  The floor-to-ceiling windows allow diners to look out over the 17th and 18th holes of the Old Course – and on a summer’s night (when the sun is shining) it really is hard to beat.  The 3 AA Rosette Awarded Restaurant’s menu has recently gone through extensive changes and they are now focused on the very best seasonal Scottish produce.  I’d strongly recommend that guests at the hotel sample the delights at least once during their stay – make sure to request a window table!
