- irve2016Sydney, Australia1,069 contributionsI didn't get to play the course, but just being present was spine tingling to stay the least.
We were able to walk a few holes and had a great look around, what a magnificent place to visit.Written 3 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I will definitely go there again when in St Andrews.Written 27 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- alibatty🦇Dundee, UK4,996 contributionsThis 2 mile long sandy beach is bordered with grassy dunes sprinkled with wildflowers, and fringed with intriguing rock formations - some of which are the remnants of a lush forest that grew here in the late Carboniferous period 310 million years ago. If you know what you’re looking for , plant and insect fossils and tracks can be found here, some in situ. It’s a designated Blue Flag bathing area, and the water is amazingly translucent in places. There’s a spacious ticketed car-park, public toilets and a snack shack, plus as it’s part of the Fife Coastal Path , you can stretch your legs for as long or short as you like.Written 26 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ross_G29492Falkirk, UK50 contributionsA great little stop while visiting St Andrews £30 for 2 adults. Maybe a little bit expensive for the size of the place but who cares! If you check first for the feeding times and listen to a few of the talks you can spend a fair bit of time here exploring reading and checking out all of the animals! Staff were all super friendly too and there was loads to look at!Written 30 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Marcus S4 contributionsI mean not much to say apart from amazing everything about the place was unreal the practice facility’s to the stunning course.

- marksmith2023Dunfermline, UK1 contributionWonderful location, tough course, great service, unfortunate wet conditions but is outstanding in more playable conditions.

- PonyUpMum219 contributionsAlways really quite clean and well kept.

- Rich30350Sandy Springs, GA693 contributionsProbably the nicest golf course I have ever golfed. First off the all the staff are so happy, friendly and helpful...they make you feel like this will be special. The course is super hard...miss the fairway and you probably won't find your ball. The conditions were perfect with light/moderate breezes. The views are stunning. There are not enough superlatives to say about my day on the Castle Course.Written 6 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- pracwestMelbourne, Australia63 contributionsA bucket item ticked off here and was not disappointed. Was surprised that you could walk the course freely as long as it didn't interfere with the golf then all was good. Has the obliquetry photo taken on the bridge. It was a calm day the day we were there and it just seemed so serene. A trip to the gift shop for a few souvenirs also a requirement.Written 7 April 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Nate HodgeWindham, ME12 contributionsAmazing 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.Written 17 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

All added up to a very memorable experience.Written 4 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- mikeanddani2013Kingston upon Thames, UK186 contributionsOften overlooked compared to the other courses, the Jubilee is a true test of golf. A great variety of holes weaving through the dunes more so than any of the other courses in St. Andrews. If the wind blows it can be tough but it is also exciting and fun.Written 7 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TomB29582North Myrtle Beach, SC150 contributionsMight not compare to the Old Course at St Andrews, but of looking to play a good links course- then Eden is the place. We played 8 course in 7 days and Eden was in the upper half. An enjoyable course to play!Written 11 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
