Last checked

Rusacks is the Official Hotel of the 155th Open at St Andrews, 15–18 July 2027, so expect little availability that week.

Who it suits

A group that wants to look straight onto the 1st and 18th fairways and be in the town. The Links Townhouse has four en-suite bedrooms and sleeps eight.

  • Good for

    Views of the 1st and 18th, a rooftop putting green, and four places to eat and drink.

  • Less good for

    Getting on the Old Course: the concierge books other courses but not the Old Course, which is by ballot. No spa.

  • Our tip

    For course views, book a Links room, a Swilcan room with a balcony, or the 18th View Deluxe Suite. Rusacks Double rooms face the avenue or courtyard.
