Old Course Hotel to sponsor the 2011 Half Cut Film Festival
The committee of the 2011 Half Cut Film Festival is pleased to announce the Old Course Hotel as one of this year's sponsors. As a platform for the best student films in Scotland, Half Cut is proud to partner with one of Scotland's most luxurious resorts, neighbouring the most famous golf course in the world. We look forward to showcasing Scotland’s rising talent together as part of the 2011 On The Rocks Festival.
While the Old Course Hotel boasts a wide range of facilities and services, Half Cut recommends that students in particular will enjoy relaxing at the Kohler Waters Spa, dining on traditional Scottish pub food at The Jigger Inn, and unwinding with a cocktail or a single malt while overlooking the Old Course’s 17th hole from The Road Hole bar.
