The Best View in Golf St. Andrews-

14A The Links sits in the heart of one of the most enviable and iconic locations in the world of golf, overlooking the 1st Tee and 18th Green of the Old Course with views to the famous West Sand beach beyond. From the bay window in the living room, you can watch the world go by on the 18th green with the Royal & Ancient Golf Club sitting majestically in the background.
