Making the drive through the Scottish countryside, you know what awaits.
The Old Course, the history, the town and for those fortunate enough, the Rusacks St Andrews.
It looks different. It feels different. It is different.
Resting a left-to-right 15-footer from the 18th fairway of the most iconic golf course in the world, the Rusacks St Andrews is special, and Marine & Lawn Hotels & Resorts have created similar awe-inspiring experiences at each of their properties in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
There’s Marine North Berwick in North Berwick, Scotland; Marine Troon in Troon, Scotland; Dornoch Station in Dornoch, Scotland; Adelphi Portrush in Portrush, Northern Ireland; and Slieve Donard in Newcastle, Co Down.
“Marine & Lawn Hotels & Resorts started in 2019 with our acquisition of Rusacks St. Andrews. We knew immediately that we had the opportunity to build something incredible, and that meant more than just providing exceptional accommodations and amenities in premiere golf destinations. It meant becoming the stewards of these iconic properties, and that is not something we take lightly,” said CEO and founder, Ben Weprin.
“Storytelling is at the core of what we do. We believe that the stories of our destinations are just as important as the golf itself. That’s why we make it a priority to share these stories with our guests, through our hotel design, our amenities, and our experiences.”
