Thank you very much for your email. My husband and my son are on their way back home. Both enjoyed this event so much! They called me every day and told me how amazing this event was. I am very happy for my two guys and I will thank you and the whole team for this unbelievable great job you done! I don’t know if my husband already have rebooked for 2018, but please rebooked my husband and my son for 2018 and 2019. I am absolutely sure they want make this event to a family tradition.

Just a quick note to say a big thank you to you for a great week once again.  I've just gotten home and even though I'm very happy to see my family I'm feeling distinct PSADS (Post St Andrews Depression Syndrome).  
Holger Peens; South Africa (4 times winner)

Myself and my Dad Keith really enjoyed it -  we would love to attend again next year - thank you Sheelagh, Caroline, Sam and Roy and all your team for such a great trip and all your help and hospitality, me and dad look forward to seeing you all next year
Bill Elsmore; England

Thank you so much for all the efforts of yourself and your team. Will and I had such a great time.  Unfortunately can't do it again for a little while but will treasure the memory for ever. 
Thanks again for everything and making this special trip beyond all expectation. 
Stewart Johnson; Australia

Thanks Sheelagh!!  What an incredible experience, your staff and team were amazing.  I have 3 boys, keep this going so I can bring one back in 15 years or so!
Colby Smith Texas (he kept kidding it is a separate country)

Thanks so much to you and the team (Alistair, Alan, Caroline et al ) for the most special and amazing experience. An experience I'll cherish forever. All 4 courses were a dream come true and I'll live off a few of my shots for many years to come (without mentioning the ones I left out there of course)! I must admit I would have been disappointed to play the courses in warm, benign, sunny conditions and in a weird way enjoyed the challenging conditions thrown at us! 
There was a great crew of guys there and friendships were forged with many from around the world, which I'm sure will be enduring. A great spirit which will live on.
Thanks once again and I certainly look forward to doing it again in a few years.

Thank you and the St Andrews Team – the trip far exceeded our expectations and we had a wonderful time. Every aspect of the experience was phenomenal from the Old Course, transportation, driving range, meals. We plan on doing it again in a few years and as I retell my story of playing the Old Course I always include the fantastic job everyone at The Experience St Andrews did and how great that made our trip.

Richard Wagner - Minneapolis 2016

Once again, you and your team have done a standout job. One member of our group said he had been on 27 golf trips and not one had come close to the experience we had on this one. Your attention to detail and always being available is exceptional. Having gone two experiences with your company, I can do nothing but rave about it.

Steve Brown – 2016

I just wrote to Robin singing your praises but wanted to reach out to you to extend a heartfelt thank you for all that you did. My group raved about your courtesy, professionalism, organization and the warmth that you showed us.

Leonard Ormsby - Nevada 2016

We had a magical trip to Scotland, one all 8 of us will remember for a lifetime. Both travel companies – our home one and OCE went the extra mile for our enjoyment and we were able to relax and truly enjoy the golf adventure of a lifetime.

Kevin Getz - Wyoming 2016

I am following up to tell you how much we enjoyed our experience!! The one thing everyone kept saying was “it was all the little things” From Hamish our driver, to Rona on the West Coast, to Alan and Jim in St Andrews you got all the little things right!! We really never had to think about anything. And we had some fantastic tables for lunch and dinner while in St Andrews.

We can’t thank you enough!! It truly was an epic vacation and I’d recommend your group to anyone who is thinking of doing the same.

Jim Stanick - 2016

 

Let me add two more voices to the many well-deserved congratulations and thanks to the OCE team for a truly wonderful time at St. Andrews. Alan and I have had the privilege of playing many fine courses together, but truly, nothing can compare to the experience of this year’s Father and Son tournament. A spectacular setting, no need for waterproofs, fine playing companions, new friends, some fun evening frivolities and wonderful and attentive hosts. How could it have been otherwise?  It will be a high priority for us to return. Our very best to you all!

Jim and Alan Smellie  - Father and Son Tournament 2014

Doug and I want to thank all of you for an incredible week. It was the best golf experience, regardless of the outcome. We have had the opportunity to enjoy. The staff did a tremendous job and we felt welcome by all the moment we walked into the hotel until the time we left. It far exceeded any expectations we had built up over the 2 years of anticipation.

Doug Pinckney Jr & Doug Pinckney 3rd -Father and Son Tournament 2014

Clive and Eriko Mayhew - 10 day Open Programme Tour 2013

We have a saying down under, you may use it too...'Quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten’...Have already forgotten the price, will share the memory of our experience with family and friends in the years ahead. Thank you all so much!!”
