Old Course Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa

Overlooking the legendary Old Course and the dramatic Fife coastline, the Old Course Hotel is one of Scotland’s most celebrated luxury hotels. Home to world-class golf, the award-winning Kohler Waters Spa, and a collection of acclaimed restaurants and bars, it is a destination that balances active wellbeing with indulgent leisure. The five-star resort features 175 bedrooms, including 34 suites, each offering refined comfort and exceptional views across the links and sea.

Recently renovated dining venues include the Road Hole Restaurant, Road Hole Bar, and The Deck, joined by three additional restaurants and bars that bring together local produce and flavours within elegant dining settings.

The spa’s thermal suite features an enhanced hydrotherapy area and the UK’s first Espuro Foam Experience Steam Room, complemented by relaxation lounges serving warming teas in a tranquil setting. Its treatment menu showcases premium brands including Omorovicza, GROUND, Margaret Dabbs, and Phytomer, each selected for their natural efficacy and commitment to sustainable wellness. The Kohler Waters Spa also introduces Scotland’s most advanced contrast therapy experience, alternating between hot and cold to promote healing, highlighted by a striking KLAFS-designed snow and sauna cabin. Guests can unwind in soothing thermal spaces before embracing invigorating cold exposure, achieving a harmonious balance of restoration and vitality.

Beyond the main resort, the hotel operates Hamilton Grand, a prestigious historic residence with 27 exclusive two-bedroom apartments overlooking the 18th green and West Sands Beach.
