Yes, it cost 150 pounds to play the Old Course, and worth every penny for such a great experience on the Home of Golf. Even an 8 on the Par 3 11th didn't dent my enjoyment. Do it if you are a golfer! More

Awesome place. A bit spendy to play the Old Course but if you are a golfer, it is worth it. Plus you get to check off one more thing on your bucket list! More

It was 42 degrees, the wind was 40 mph and it was sleeting on and off. This was "typical weather on the Old Course" and it was great! The next time I watch the British Open at the Old Course and they complain about the weather, I can know that I played in worse conditions and shot under a 100! More

The Old Course at St Andrews has always been on my "to do" list and this year, to celebrate my 50th birthday, I finally got the opportunity and what an experience!!!! As well as The Old Course we played The Castle Course and both in their own way were special. One of my golf partners described the experience on The... More

A dream came through when we played the Old Course. It really is something special. The course is fantastic with hidden bunkers all the way. Bring a caddie if it is your first round there - it is worth it! The mix of history, course layout, nice weather and excitement made this the round of my life. More

Visited the home of golf in the first week of april. On the day we booked the Old Course there where 50 mph winds which maked the golf courses hard to play, but you don't go to Scotland for the weather. I have to say Hole 1, 16, 17 and 18 do the job, it's the best i've ever played.... More

Despite being a little wet underfoot the Castle Course was a great experience. Even 5 holes of rain could not dampen the mood. However I must single out all the staff up at the clubhouse, their service form arrival to departure was second to none and all our party commented on this. More

Awesome, but tough! One of the most pituresque courses in the UK. Fantastic club house and a great meet & greet team. Bar and food excellent, but plenty of attentive staff comes at a price. More
