A must-visit destination for any golf adventurer, Rusacks St Andrews is a monument to the game and its founders. Occupying an iconic 1800s building, the hotel overlooks the famous Old Course and makes a luxe home base for explorers of St Andrews.

Inspired by local flora and fauna, guest rooms feature warm woods, muted tones, and luxurious décor. Lush green is the accent color of choice, while rich brown furniture and subtle floral walls hint at the great outdoors.

Selected rooms offer enviable views of the surrounding courses and landscape, while all provide an abundance of amenities for a memorable and fuss-free stay.

The great links courses are strung like a necklace of pearls around the throat of the Firth of Forth — from Dunbar, North Berwick, Muirfield, and Gullane on the south side of the Firth, up to the great bridges and back along the north shore, past Leven, Lundin, Dumbarnie, Elie, Anstruther, Crail, and Kingsbarns, through St Andrews to Scotscraig, Panmure, and
