Old Course Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa

The most wonderful experience. From moment of arrival until departure, the stay was a delight. The reception on arrival was welcoming , excellent concierge and reception staff. That first contact is vital and maps out the standard ahead. The room was beautiful and immaculately clean with great standards in linen, toiletries and furnishings. The housekeeping staff do an amazing job and are so polite and mannerly. Throughout this hotel the standard is exceptional. Professional, exquisite yet so welcoming. The spa is a true sanctuary and such a lovely experience. Every detail of this hotel and its grounds is high quality and standard. That of course can mean nothing without great service. First I would say that there are so many staff visible yet not intrusive. You don’t have to look for staff. The next point I will make is just how absolutely fabulous the staff are. Each and every member of staff were outstanding. Lovely manners, friendly, informative and just made you feel welcome. Staff in the grounds, bar, reception, restaurants, housekeeping and kitchens were excellent. I could not recommend this hotel more highly. A truly fantastic stay.

What a lovely night away we had for our Wedding Anniversary at the old course hotel. From start to finish staff amazing, spa excellent, breakfast so good. Complimentary champagne and canapés to our room was such a lovely touch. The hotel is spotless would recommend. Jigger Inn is lovely for a wee tipple too

The best hotel in beautiful St. Andrews. Every member of staff is courteous, helpful and very pleasant. Meals are exceptional, cleanliness is top grade. I am unable to suggest any areas where they could improve. 10/10

Our family had an exceptional experience from start to finish at the Old Course Hotel. From the moment I made our reservation nine months in advance through to checkout, the team was consistently attentive and incredibly helpful—assisting with transportation, day trips, golf tee times, and thoughtfully answering every question along the way. During our stay, we enjoyed an unforgettable range of activities, including land yachting, falconry, clay pigeon shooting, and of course, golf. As a wonderful surprise, we were even upgraded to a suite, which made our stay feel all the more special. Each morning, breakfast was delicious, accompanied by stunning views of the Old Course and the sea. Dinner at The Road Hole Restaurant was simply outstanding—on par with some of the finest meals we’ve enjoyed in major cities around the world. What truly set this experience apart, however, was the warmth and professionalism of the staff. Everyone we encountered was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely committed to making our stay memorable. A special thank you to the concierge team, who went above and beyond for us at every turn. We are so grateful for such a memorable visit and would return without hesitation.

Stayed on a Saturday night. Beautiful hotel and you can tell as soon as you enter it this is a 5 star hotel! Staff amazing and treated you so well. Room overlooked the car park but it was quiet and luxurious. Loved the turn down service. Just felt very looked after and special being here. Breakfast was lovely and can see even when busy in the morning they are trying their best and nothing is too much trouble for them. We will return!
