Book two to three months ahead for most spring and summer stays, and earlier for larger homes, central properties, parking and dog-friendly accommodation.

The next winter graduation ceremonies take place on 1 and 2 December 2026, followed by summer graduation from 28 June to 2 July 2027.

The Open then returns to St Andrews from 11 to 18 July 2027, leaving only nine days between graduation week and Championship week. Accommodation demand from late June through mid-July 2027 will be exceptional, so these stays should be booked as early as possible.

School holidays, major golf weeks, Christmas and New Year also fill quickly. Last-minute availability can still appear between bookings, especially for flexible dates or shorter stays outside the main events.
