Road Hole Restaurant

You're walking into the Old Course Hotel on Old Station Road, and straight away you know this isn't your average St Andrews dinner spot. The Road Hole takes its name seriously—it's named after the famous 17th hole that's destroyed countless golf dreams, and the restaurant milks that drama for all it's worth. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the course itself, so you're eating while watching golfers battle it out across the fairways. It's the kind of place where business dinners happen, where celebrations get properly marked, and where locals take visiting relatives to prove the town's got more going on than just university students and golfing tourists.
