Plans for luxury pub overlooking St Andrews’ Old Course

Owners of the Old Course Hotel in St Andrews have unveiled plans for the luxury pub with views over the 17th.

Drinkers will be able to sit on the 77-seat bar’s terrace and watch some of the world’s greatest golfers in action in the Fife town. It is hoped that construction will be complete when town hosts the 150th Open Championship in 2022.

The five-star hotel has submitted a planning application for the bar to Fife Council.

A planning statement accompanying the application states: “The proposal will extend and improve the hotel’s guest offer, enhance the visitor experience and offer exceptional views out across the Old Course and West Sands.”
