Spring arrives early in St Andrews, bringing lighter days, fresh sea air, and the perfect excuse to gather the family for a coastal escape. This year, the iconic Old Course Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa is celebrating the season with a collection of Easter experiences designed to make the holidays feel special — whether you’re checking in for a long weekend or simply stopping by for a memorable brunch.
As the newsletter notes, Easter at the resort is all about slowing down and reconnecting: “Lighter days, sea air, and time to slow down properly.” It’s an invitation that feels especially welcome after a long winter.
A Family Escape Made Easy
From April 3rd to April 19th, the Old Course Hotel is making family travel even more appealing with its Kids Stay Free offer. Spacious rooms, sweeping views, and direct access to the coastline create an ideal base for exploring St Andrews at your own pace.
Families can settle in, breathe out, and let the kids enjoy the freedom of a true holiday. As the document highlights, it’s a chance to “gather everyone and turn the holidays into something special.”
An Easter Brunch Worth Arriving Hungry For
On Sunday, April 5th, the hotel hosts an Easter brunch that goes far beyond the usual pastries and polite plates. Expect abundant tables, seasonal classics, golden pastries, and sweet treats that demand a second helping.
The newsletter describes it perfectly: “This isn’t a polite plate and a pastry — it’s a full‑blown Easter spread.” Long, lazy afternoons are encouraged, and no one will judge that extra trip back to the buffet.
Easter Fun Across the Resort
Families will find plenty to keep curious minds entertained throughout the holiday period. The resort’s Easter programming includes:
- A Scavenger Hunt for budding detectives
- Family Splash Time in the pool
- In‑room treats delivered straight to your door
It’s a thoughtful blend of activity and relaxation, ensuring everyone — from toddlers to teens — has something to look forward to.

Beyond the resort, spring in St Andrews is a season of fresh air and gentle adventure. Guests can wander the windswept sands of West Sands Beach, visit the St Andrews Aquarium, enjoy a round at the whimsical Himalayas Putting Course, or spend a leisurely afternoon at Craigtoun Park.
The newsletter captures the spirit beautifully: “Fresh air, a little adventure, and that unmistakable feeling of spring on the coast.”
