Arguably golf’s most historic property, St Andrews, has reopened its clubhouse after the building underwent its largest renovation in 100 years.

The improvements include new and extended locker room space to offer women’s facilities; a new heritage lounge displaying historic architectural plans of the Clubhouse; a new Members’ Shop; a refurbished Trophy Room displaying the Club’s trophies and medals; and a new golf concierge desk offering services to members.

“The Clubhouse renovation is the most significant enhancement that we have made to the building in 100 years and we are pleased to have made these improvements while retaining its special character and appearance,” said Martin Slumbers, Secretary of The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews,

“All members will now be able to enjoy the use of new and improved facilities which will enrich their experience of visiting and playing golf in St Andrews. Importantly, we are now able to cater to the increasing number of members who attend the Spring and Autumn meetings that we hold each year, as well as meeting the requirements of staging our professional and amateur championships here.

“We would like to thank the residents of St Andrews for their patience and understanding during the time it has taken to carry out and complete the renovation work.”
