The Rusacks St Andrews

Historic Scotland Escape on World-Famous Golf Course

The Rusacks St Andrews logo

Step back in time to discover Scottish countryside elegance and golfing history with an escape to The Rusacks St Andrews. Occupying an iconic 1800s building, the putter’s playground is steeped in history, home to the world’s oldest 18-hole course. Overlooking the picturesque town of St Andrews — and just a stone’s throw from Old Tom Morris’s famous Old Course Links — it’s a monument to golf and its founders, as well as a luxurious base for explorers of the seaside town, sitting just steps from the ocean. Don’t love golf? Leave fans of the great game to drive their way down the green while you take in the impressive architecture of St Andrews Cathedral and St Andrews Castle, or visit the historic St Andrews University, known for educating world leaders and royals alike.

Exceptional. Wish we stayed longer! Service from start to finish was welcoming, helpful and thoughtful! Every staff member we encountered was kind and went out of their way to be helpful. Bed was SO comfortable. Our room was lovely overlooking the old course. The bathroom was nice, but I wish we had a bathtub as well! Oh, and the website with things to do in the area was super helpful!

Always the best experience staying at the Rusacks - the only negative part is leaving. Fantastic staff that go above and beyond every detail of your stay - Alisha, Bruce, Jack, Laura, Gordon, Cameron - and of course Seamus (I know I am missing a few others..!). Can't wait to come back soon!

Fantastic stay at Rusacks. The staff was super friendly and attentive, rooms were well appointed (recommend one with a balcony over the Old Course - quite special), and the limited food we ate there (breakfast) was well done. The only reason I gave the rooms 4 stars is because there was construction of some sort happening nearby our room somewhere in the hotel, which was quite loud throughout the days.

Overall, the hotel is great. Fantastic location, amazing staff and food services. The best burger in town is probably at One Under Bar alongside the best fries in town, peri peri fries! As for the room, it felt like it had a lot of history but felt outdated which I believe was the overall plan. I guess I’m used to modern rooms but it was still a nice pleasant room. The temperature in my room was a bit cooler than I would like and I couldn’t seem to get my room warm enough after messing with the thermostat every day and that was very annoying. The water in the showers would go cold every now and then when taking a hot shower but then return to heated water after about 5 seconds. That was another little surprise you would get. Had a good time at this hotel. Would definitely stay again.
