Went to the old course for a spa day and lunch, it did not disappoint. Spa facilities are amazing. My massage therapist was so lovely and my treatment was so relaxing, I can't wait to go back, hopefully be back soon.

We recently stayed at the hotel and were extremely disappointed with the service and food standard we received. We ate at the road hole restaurant, which I can only describe from start to finish was shambolic. We ordered the monkfish cheek korma & brown butter pumpkin followed by the scrabster plaice (which I was told after ordering it was sold out but they could offer a crab risotto with sea bream instead) and ribeye steak with bearnaise sauce. The monkfish cheek korma, was certainly not a korma it was a spicy red pepper soup with overcooked monkfish, I only wished I had taken a photo of what the dish looked like at the time however we were there for a birthday celebration and we gave the hotel the benefit of the doubt of one terrible dish. The pumpkin was edible but no frills. Our reservation was at 7pm and after receiving our starters we waited another 1.5hrs for our main course. The wait was definitely not worth it, the crab risotto had a peculiar taste and the sea bream was overcooked, the side of maple glazed heritage carrots were swimming in maple syrup. The bearnaise sauce was quite frankly disgusting, curdled and tasted of oil. The steak was tough and the tomato and mushroom looked like they had been sitting out all day. The service was abysmal no soup spoon, no steak knife and no one asked if we would like another drink during the 1.5hr wait for our main course, we had to flag down a waitress even for a water refill. We left with both main courses untouched and when we returned to our room there was a notice left on our bed pre warning us there is going to be another shambles at breakfast in the morning. So We decided to leave the hotel and go to the Rusacks for breakfast which we throughly enjoyed and would highly recommend and we’re glad we made that decision even though breakfast at the old course was included in our rate as the reception desk on check out was full of guests complaining again of the service and standard of food received at breakfast. The old course hotel was bitterly disappointing, 5 star prices but substandard rooms, very dated, poor service and the food was terrible. The spa was nice but I would suggest staying and eating elsewhere and pay the £40 spa fee if you would like to visit.

This spa is flawless. Everything about it is perfect, the decor, the facilities, the lighting, the music, the service, it's all conducive to peak relaxation. I really rate that they have a deep ice plunge pool you can jump into between sauna sessions. I especially loved the bubble spa, I've never experienced anything like it. It was so fragrant, warming, and kind of surreal in such a lovely way, sitting in a small spa filled up to your chin with soft bubbles and then the gentle warm rain, it was somehow kind of silly but utterly wonderful and felt heavenly afterwards. We had some treatments and the practitioners are well trained and skilled in what they do. I have had a lot of very mediocre massages but this treatment today really hit the spot, it was both relaxing and therapeutic. We also enjoyed a very pleasant lunch in the cafe, the menu was extremely tempting and hard to choose just one thing from. When we left the sun was setting over the golf course, full moon over the sea and beautiful skies, a lush dreamy moment to put a cherry on top of a perfect day.

The old course hotel is very nice and clean but my first class hotel is the Balmoral in Edinburgh the Balmoral hotel is at the top of the list

Excellent

Laidback luxury with a view. Golf is the obvious attraction but Sundays the course is closed and you can stroll without fear of straying golf balls. The beach walk along the sands, a coffee at the Dook beach cafe, or a visit to the ruined cathedral are unrivalled. Great place for a short Uk break or the many visiting USA golf enthusiasts.

I thought the spa was wonderful, my massage excellent and we had a lovely lunch as part of our afternoon. The experience was slightly dimmed by the fact that every seat in the spa was reserved by a towel and no one returned to the seats for most of the time we were there. A bit of a shame that this was allowed as we couldn't read at all. Otherwise, a relaxing, experience.

Had a great experience attending an event here. Our room looked over the Old Course at St Andrews. The home of Kohler with a nice spa and multiple bars and restaurants to take in after a great day of golf.

Great location, overlooking the famous Old Course. The rooms are very comfortable and spacious. Unfortunately the service is poor. There was a 20 minute queue to get in to breakfast, despite there being plenty of free tables and a buffet. We had 2 dinners at the hotel, we're still chewing the beef. After dinner drinks took over an hour to arrive. I could go on but I think you get the gist. Overall, it's a great location and hotel but it's clearly lacking effective management, to address these basic service requirements.
