Planning Permission Granted for Links Clubhouse Expansion
Fife Council has granted full planning permission for the renovation and expansion of the Links Clubhouse in St Andrews.
The project will see the addition of a new café, bag drop area, and retail space, as well as an upgrade of locker room facilities. The clubhouse will also benefit from new windows offering expansive views of the Links and an upgraded roof terrace.
"The approval of our plans for the Links Clubhouse is a key moment for the Trust’s programme of strategic reinvestment back into our sites, which is in place to ensure the Home of Golf continues to be maintained for future generations and offer the highest-quality experience to all," said Neil Coulson, chief executive of St Andrews Links Trust.
Work on the energy hub, featuring air source heat pumps, will begin within the next 12 months, with the main clubhouse renovation and extension planned for the latter half of 2027.
The project is designed to minimise disruption to operations, particularly during the 155th Open Championship, which will be held at the Old Course in 2027.
