Angus Council said transfer is "an initial phase of the future plans to redevelop the hotel" which is connected to a push to secure the course’s place as a key fixture on The Open schedule.
The hotel said it offers "extensive facilities including 96 luxury en suite bedrooms including 10 suites with amazing views over the championship course".
The famously challenging course was set out by Old Tom Morris and extended at a later stage by James Braid.
