The Ridge Suite has always had the best view in the hotel. This autumn we gave the rest of the room something to match it.
Over six weeks, our team replaced the carpet with wide timber floors, hand-plastered the walls in a warm clay tone and rebuilt the bathroom around a deep stone tub. Almost everything was made within a hundred kilometres of the resort.
A terrace that looks down the 18th
The biggest change is outside. We extended the terrace by two metres and removed the old glass balustrade, so the view now runs uninterrupted from the breakfast table to the final green. In the evening you can watch the last groups walk in with a glass of wine in hand.
Small details that matter
Inside, the lighting is warm and low, the bed is dressed in undyed linen and the minibar has been replaced with a cupboard of local produce. There is also a proper reading chair by the window, which has already become the most requested seat in the suite.
The Ridge Suite is open for bookings now. Rates and availability are on the rooms page, and our team is happy to arrange a late checkout after your final round.
