St Andrews Golf & Hotel Drop-Offs
Old Course Hotel — Drop-off at the main entrance on Old Station Road. Your driver can hold for 5 minutes while bellhops collect clubs and luggage. Ideal arrival window 14:00–16:00 for check-in.
Fairmont St Andrews — A separate resort 2 miles south of town on the A917. Drop-off at the resort's main porte-cochère; we use the Crail Road approach to avoid town-centre congestion during The Open and Dunhill Links weeks.
Rusacks, Rusack Townhouse, Hotel du Vin — All within a 3-minute drive of the Old Course. We use Pilmour Place / Pilmour Links for the closest drop. Loading bay access is restricted during peak tournament weeks; we plan an alternative drop on Bell Street if needed.
Golf bag note: A standard estate fits up to 3 sets of clubs + 3 cabin bags; an MPV takes 4 sets + 4 suitcases comfortably; the 8-seater is the only option for 6+ golfers with full luggage. Confirm bag count at booking and we'll dispatch the right vehicle — no surcharge for clubs.
