New look for St Andrews Links
clubhouse restaurant in 2009

FROM THE NEWSLETTER OF ST ANDREWS LINKS
A new lounge and dining area is to be created in the St Andrews Links clubhouse.
The bar which separates the two existing restaurants is to be removed, opening up the entire room and allowing the addition of 30 extra tables.
"For 13 years this space has served us well, proving popular with golfers, locals and the general public," said clubhouse operations manager Ewen Bowman, who is overseeing the development.
"However, queuing has increased and feedback suggests modernisation of this area wold be a welcome move."
Sofas will be placed by the windows with low level tables to take advantage of the uninterrupted panoramic view that will be available once the conversion is complete. A new bar will be located to the right hand side of the lounge entrance.
A welcome station will sit to the left of the entrance where a member of staff will be able to greet guests on arrival.
The toilets will be completely refurbished. They will remain where they are but the men's and the ladies' rooms will change places.
Work is due to start on January 5 and will last for around seven weeks.
The rest of the clubhouse will be unaffected and disruptions will be kept to a minimum.
The first series of alterations took place a year ago and resulted in a more efficient use of the entrance space with the retail and reception area upgraded and modernised.
