If you're looking for a venue with stunning views, exceptional food and quality service then look no further than the newly renovated Old Course Hotel. We had our wedding there in February this year and had the most amazing weekend. Both Jessica and Laura are fantastic and will make sure that they bring your vision to life. Our guests still talk about the amazing food (beef wellington canape, being a particular highlight!) In fact, the day you get to come and choose your wedding breakfast is a whole experience in itself. We have visited the Old Course on many occasions over the years and always received a warm welcome but all staff really did go

I got married here last September and I had the most beautiful day with the help of the Old Course. Jessica was my wedding planner she was very helpful and kept me right. She gave me opinions on things I wasn't sure about helped me pick the meals for my guests. She was extremely helpful and I'm very thankful for her. The hotel is absolutely beautiful inside and out the views are out of this world. The s

We had 100 guests fly over from the US for our destination wedding at The Old Course Hotel. The entire experience was magical and we could not have asked for a better venue! Many guests commented on the exemplary service and that this was one of the nicest hotels they have ever stayed at. The hotel did a great job coordinating multiple events over several days as part of our wedding celebration.

Our stay at the Old Course Hotel was truly unforgettable. We chose the hotel to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and from start to finish, everything was simply perfect. The team went above and beyond to make our day special. Every detail was taken care of, the service was exceptional, and everyone we met was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely caring. Nothing was ever too much trouble. What made the experience so remarkable was that they didn't just deliver excellent hospitality, they added that extra spark that turned a wonderful day into a magical memory we will cherish foreve

From the moment we first contacted the Old Course Hotel, we knew we had made the right decision. We travelled from outside the area for our intimate wedding with just six guests, and despite its size, we were made to feel just as important as any larger celebration. Jess, our wedding coordinator, was exceptional. She guided us through the planning process with the perfect balance of communication, making everything feel straightforward and stress-free. We didn't have a detailed plan for how the day would run, but Jess did, and that allowed us to simply relax and enjoy every moment. On the day itself, everything happened so effortlessly that we barely noticed how much work was going on behind the scenes. Every member of the team was warm, professional and genuinely invested in making our wedding feel special. We never had to ask what was happening next or worry about any of the details—they had everything completely under control. Looking back, what stands out most is how calm and seamless the whole experience felt. We were able to be fully present with each other and our family because we knew we were in such capable hands.

We eloped and married at The Old Course Hotel in St Andrews. It was magical. From the fun dinner the night before at The Jigger Inn, to the exquisite afternoon tea to the groom playing golf at The Dukes on the morning of the wedding. The wedding planner at The Old Course ensured our wedding was beautiful, the decorations were in place and the whole team made us feel so special. Our wedding was tiny but every last detail was thought of down to the decoration of our honeymoon room with rose petals including a bot

We only toured one venue because I knew post meeting with the Old Course that it was the place for us. The staff was so wonderful (adored Jess Paton!), the venue was spectacular. They made everything so seamless and easy leading up to the wedding and on the day of. EVERYONE commented on how good the food was and how professional the staff was. It was the best wedding ever and that wouldn't have been possible without the Old Course. We did the ceremony and reception at the Old Course and loved how easy it was and

We had our wedding at the Old Course Hotel on 2nd August 2025, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. From the moment we booked, the team were attentive, professional, and genuinely invested in making our wedding everything we had hoped for. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble – every detail was handled with such care, and their organisation made the whole process so much easier and more enjoyable. On the day itself, the service was outstanding. The staff went above and beyond to look after us and our guests: so many people commented on how seamless everything felt. The food was exceptional, and the setting speaks for itself; the views over the Old Course and West Sands made for the most spectacular backdrop. What stood out most to us was the warmth and professionalism of the entire team. We felt completely supported and reassured throughout the planning and on the day, which meant we could relax and truly enjoy ourselves. It’s clear they genuinely care about every couple’s experience, and that makes all the difference. If you are considering the Old Course Hotel for your wedding, we

I would recommend this venue to anyone wanting to get married. Both big budget and small budget weddings. We live down in Kent. Could not have asked for a more perfect day! All the arrangements had to be made from a distance with Jess the Wedding Co-ordinator. She made everything so easy. I really felt like she had taken the time to get to know me as a person, very encouraging of my ideas and wishes. She took some amazing shots of our day on my phone and even accompanied us to the iconic old course for those all important photos. Many thanks to her and Caitlyn for being our witnesses as well. Staff at the hotel are so lovely I cannot fault any of them. Food also great. Some food and drink added on the house, what a lovely touch. Exceeded our expectations! Thank you Jess, a day to remembe

Our wedding at the Old Course Hotel was nothing short of magical. From the breathtaking surroundings to the elegant interiors, the entire venue created the most incredible setting for our special day. The ambiance was warm and luxurious, and everything from the décor to the lighting was just perfect. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and paired with an excellent wine selection that our guests are still talking about. The staff were outstanding, attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming. Every single person we interacted with made us feel completely at ease and well looked after. A special thank you goes to Jess Paton, our wonderful wedding coordinator. Jess went above and beyond in every possible way, ensuring every detail was just right, right down to the way our napkins were folded. Her calm presence, thoughtful guidance, and impeccable attention to detail made the planning process a joy. We now consider her not just our organiser,

We couldn’t recommend Old Course Hotel enough as a wedding venue. From the first time we went to view the Hotel to our wedding day, we received exceptional service from all staff. The booking and planning process was made extremely easy, the hotel couldn’t have done more to assist us. We were in constant communication and any questions I had were answered promptly. The day itself ran exceptionally smoothly and without flaws. Th

We had a really positive experience working with Jessica and the team at The Old Course Hotel planning our wedding. From the start we were impressed by the professionalism and warmth shown by the staff there. We felt totally listened to and were given great advice about how to make our day special – from bigger picture things and timings for the day all the way down to the finer details with the linen consultation. This was felt from the initial enquiry, to the menu tasting and stay, to the big day itself. Our wedding day flowed smoothly and seamlessly and we both felt really relaxed. The conservatory for the drinks reception and ballroom for the meal a

From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed and valued, and every single detail was executed with a level of care and precision that went far beyond our expectations. We genuinely cannot mention everything they did to make our wedding experience so special. The dedication, thoughtfulness, and genuine care we received has made us customers for life, and we have already booked to celebrate our first anniversary at the Old Course Hotel next year. Our wedding coordinator Jordan is one of a kind. Jordan didn’t just coordinate a wedding. She made magic happen. She made me feel like the most important person in the world. She is, quite simply, extraordinary. If you could bottle up her talent, her heart, and her ability to handle absolutely anything with poise and grace, you’d have something priceless. Nothing was too much trouble and she made the entire process a dream. From the very first meeting to the final moments of our stay, we felt as though our wedding was just as important to her as it was to us. The OCH will forever be our special place.
