Located just across the road from the fifth green on the Old Course is a home from home for thousands of people who have been enjoying its warm, welcoming atmosphere for many years.

The Towers Friendship and Respite Centre is one of 10 St Vincent de Paul holiday homes around the country that provide a week’s break away from their own often isolated and disadvantaged surroundings for those in need.
