    “The best part of the Old Course hotel, outside of the view and convenience, was David M. (Concierge)! He was so unbelievably helpful. He knew all the ins and outs of the area and resort. He went above and beyond to help me and my family. He made our trip and the resort 5/5 stars! We will definitely be back because of him! ”

    “This is such a comfortable and luxurious hotel. I have no regrets! The spa is great! And I only wish I had learned about the fitness schedule sooner. We were there for 4 days. It was so comfortable. The rooms got dark at night. Cool and air conditioned. Great service. Amazing breakfast. Amazing to eat dinner and watch the golfers go by! And then get to Be some of them ourselves!!🩷❤️”

    “Nice hotel, not quaint or Scottish, but nice. I am not sure if they used any insulation between rooms as we could hear the neighbors conversations quite well and the TV from about 4 rooms down. ”

    “We had a great experience from the moment we entered the building. Every single member of staff that we interacted with was actively looking to make our stay comfortable and convenient. The view from our room was world class, as was the shower. Like bathing under a waterfall. ”

    “We had an amazing stay at The Old Course Hotel. Clean room and bathroom. Comfortable bed. Great, friendly, welcoming staff. My one issue- Just beware when booking. We booked the Eden King Room and the bed was clearly a Queen. The staff kept insisting it was a “UK King” I’ve traveled all over the UK and have never heard of such a thing. A King Bed is a King Bed. A Queen Bed is a Queen Bed. ”
