About
The love of a sport and appreciation of its history can turn a simple game into a rich experience. If there’s one venue where golf has come to mean so much more than swings, drives, chips and putts alone, it is St Andrews. The Experience St Andrews – formerly the Old Course Experience – is a long standing Authorised Provider of Old Course Tee Times by the St Andrews Links Trust. This makes us one of the few suppliers able to provide guaranteed tee times for the Old Course.

Amazing curation of courses, outstanding and friendly service! We played the New Course, Old Course, Kingsbarns (highly recommend), Carnoustie and Dumbarnie in 5 straight days. Breakfast and Lunch were provided each day, and for Dinner we took an shuttle into town to walk around St. Andrew’s and eat at a local pub - easy to get a taxi back to the hotel. The team members for The Experience St. Andrews were first class. Every driver we had was friendly and seemed to really enjoy talking about the history of the country, the game and golf in general. Worth every penny.

A Unique Golf and Scotland Experience!
Jul 2019 • Friends
Having used The Experience St. Andrews 21 years ago, I thought I knew what to expect on my second trip; however, they exceeded expectations beyond belief. The hotel, the golf courses, the employees, were exceptional. The staff set up perfect reserved tee times, the caddies, buggies, side excursions, and restaurants.

Their tour package is unbeatable. The rest of my foursome agree that this was the only way to go.

Iconic day in the home of golf
Jun 2018
My son and I had a magical day visiting St. Andrews. I was surprised how emotional it felt to stand on the bridge -- couldn't help but think about all the legends who have stood in the same spot. Highly recommended.

Experience of a lifetime!
May 2018 • Friends
If you can afford to use this tour group , I urge you to do so. Everyone is 1st class and professional. Accommodations in the Old Course hotel were awesome. Suites were just fantastic. Golf arranged at Kingsbarns, New Course and Old Course. Drivers were timely and catered to our every need. The trip couldn’t have gone any smoother. This tour group is worth every penny!

Wow
Sep 2017 • Couples
The Old Course Experience Crew were so helpful during our stay at St. Andrews. They provided transportation for us and our clubs to and from each course that we played. We were provided with a meal after each of our rounds and a meal at the Old Course Hotel on our final evening. Couldn't say enough good things about this company and the experience they provided.

Chills!
Sep 2017 • Couples
Did a brief walking tour of the Old Course and enjoyed walking up 18 and getting photo on the bridge. You can imagine and feel what Jack, Tiger and others feel walking up. Chilling!

“Wow! Chariots of Fire”
Jun 2017 • Couples
The place has amazing view of the course from beginning to end with green grass, blue sea and gray rocks. Just passed by for a nice walk, breathe the sea air, feel the breezy wind and tour around the place.
More importantly, I am so happy and proud from which I have learned, that one of my favorite instrumental song "Chariots of Fire" of the same movie title has been filmed here, albeit I haven’t seen the movie since this was long ago, just fascinated with the song though (and now, I’m curious to see this Academy Award winning film).

Terrific tour!
Jun 2017 • Couples
We took a tour of several of the Old Course holes, led by a perfectly type-cast Scots gent with just the right amount of Scottish burr. Fun to see all the places shown on television, especially walking across the Swilcan Bridge. Also fun to hear his stories of all the golf greats. We ended our day playing 18 at the "Ladies' Himalayas" mini course, located right beside the 17th fairway.

Magical Ireland experience
Jul 2017 • Couples
We utilized this group for my husband's 60th birthday trip. They were beyond perfect in the planning and execution of every aspect of the trip. I cannot emphasize enough how great it is to have a driver and private travel to the golf courses. Compare this experience to flying private versus going on a large plane. We went all the way from Shannon to Kinsale to Dublin via private transfer. I would not hesitate to used this group for all future travel to Ireland and the UK.
