    Once in a lifetime experience.
    I 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.

    Wonder jewel in the St Andrews crown
    Wonderful location, tough course, great service, unfortunate wet conditions but is outstanding in more playable conditions. A must play when in that part of Fife

    Just Unbelievable
    Probably 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.

    Stunning
    A 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.

    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.

    Often overlooked, a great golf course.
    Often 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.

    Eden nice course to play in St Andrews.
    Might 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!

    Friendly parkland golf club
    Enjoyable parkland course where the locals are very friendly and welcoming. I’ve played quite a few different courses around the north-east coast and Highlands and this has to be the friendliest bunch of folk I have come across. Maybe it was the glorious sunshine to blame for everyone being in a good mood but it certainly made an impression on us . My wife holed a 12 ft putt on the 18th green in front of the clubhouse and she got a wee round of applause from a few of the gents who were standing outside watching.
    This is a cracker of a course set in rolling hills with some stunning holes (especially hole 15) . It’s a good test for any level of golfer with a mix of short holes and long ones with relatively wide fairways .
    Pay it a visit, you won’t be disappointed.

    Golf Trip of a Lifetime
    We just returned from an 8 day trip to St. Andrews, all planned and expertly executed by Alister and Sharon with St. Andrews for Golf. We played 6 courses in all - Castle, The Old Course, Kingsbarns, Dunbarnie, Dukes & Eden. SAFG arranged caddies for each course, as well as our hotel, transportation and dinner reservations. It was the trip of a lifetime for any golf enthusiast. We are already planning another trip “across the pond” and will absolutely seek SAFG expert assistance again. We had an absolutely amazing trip and can’t thank them enough.

    Course in Excellent condition for winter
    Played the Torrance course on 20/2/18. Course was in great condition for the time of year. Facilities are great and the staff were very helpful on arrival. Playing in a group of 4 with a variety of playing abilities the course was a challenge for everyone in different ways, from lower handicap players to higher handicaps. Best advice is be straight off of the tee, the rough was very unforgiving. The only thing I have marked the course down for is the length, although playing off yellow tees it was set up from white tee positions, with the course playing about 6,600 yards on the day. As such, it took our group around 5 hours to complete the round, though largely down to searching the rough following wayward drives! I look forward to coming back again later in the season and hopefully faring better.

    Very Helpful Afternoon!
    We were unable to book a lesson/tee time in St. Andrews due to a tournament and reached out to St. Andrews Indoor Golf. We were not familiar with the concept, but were interested in trying. We were exceptioanlly pleased with our instructor and amount of data that we received relative to our form. We took away more useful information in a one hour session that we have in more that 20 hours of lessons. They were very kind and helpful. I highly recommend visiting them!
