Old Course Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa

The Old Course Hotel Golf Resort & Spa delivers exactly what you’d expect from one of the most iconic golfing destinations in the world. While we didn’t stay at the hotel this time, we were lucky enough to snag a tee time through the lottery system and wow, what a day it turned out to be. Walking out onto the historic Old Course feels like stepping into a living postcard. The sea breeze carried across the fairways, the sound of distant waves crashing just beyond the dunes, and the unmistakable view of the Swilcan Bridge it all created an atmosphere that was both serene and electric with history. The greens were meticulously kept, and every hole offered a new challenge (especially with that infamous Scottish wind keeping us honest!). Even though we were visiting golfers, the staff treated us with warmth and enthusiasm. There was an understated respect among the players too it felt like we were all aware we were part of something special. We didn’t have a chance to explore the spa or the full range of hotel amenities, but based on the service and grounds alone, it’s easy to imagine the full experience would be nothing short of luxurious. The resort surrounds you with elegance without being overbearing a perfect match for the setting.

We are massive fans of St Andrews, it's a brilliant place to visit. Pushed the boat out and booked 2 nights at The Old Course Hotel. Brilliant room, overlooking the clubhouse and up toward the Road Hole green. Extremely comfortable bed and superb shower and bathroom. Dining was a different story, we ate out both nights. Menu's in the hotel itself just too chi-chi for us and the more down to earth Jigger Inn was fully booked. The spa was also fully booked although I was prepared to pay the additional fee (wow!) through gritted teeth. Hotel staff were excellent breakfast staff were average as was the breakfast. Anyway it's off the bucket list now and we were fairly happy on departure.

The BEST Hotel i have ever stepped foot in, Food-Incredible,Rooms-Giant,Spa center-Amazing. The view onto the golf course is such a breath-taking view and as i play golf myself, the pro shop has lots of nice things to wear. And the beds are too comfy.

This hotel far exceeded our expectations, everything was spectacular. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room (Old Course king suite) was amazing, very comfortable and specious, plenty of room for our family. Bonuses were complimentary fruit, chocolates, and bottled sparkling water, as well as a full coffee/tea station. Kohler spa type shower was also wonderful. The beautiful breakfast in a room the overlooks the Old Course was both buffet and made to order and was delicious.

The hotel never fails to delight.From the staff at check- in (Euan) to all the staff serving breakfasts and dinners not forgetting the housekeeping staff, we received nothing but first class care. We hope to see you all again in the near future.
