Who it suits

A group that wants to walk to the Old Course and stay in a full-service resort. Its Suite Golf package (at least four golfers, April to October) includes a round on the Old Course.

  • Good for

    Staying on the Road Hole, with a Kohler Waters Spa, a 20 m pool and a choice of restaurants and bars.

  • Less good for

    Getting on the Old Course without the package: otherwise it's the ballot, like everyone else.

  • Our tip

    For a guaranteed Old Course round, ask about the Suite Golf package: five nights in a suite, the Old Course plus other courses, and transfers.
