Reviews
Quite apart from the stunning course and clement weather, we were bowled over by the welcome your staff gave and by the professionalism they showed on every level. I was wary about encouraging the boys to play golf because I feared it would be a little “snooty” about young players who were not necessarily dripping in cash. But I could not have been more wrong. Everywhere we have played, people have opened their doors to them and encouraged them in their passion – and Kingsbarns was no exception. Thank you, again, for a truly special day.
Just a quick email to say thank you for letting me play your course the other day. I had a brilliant time and was blown away with how good the golf course is. It really goes live up to the hype. I now see why all of my friends recommend I made sure I made the trip! I look forward to hopefully visiting one time in the future.
I’m happy to tell you that our trip to Kingsbarns was an unforgettable experience for all the right reasons. I can’t think of a single aspect of the trip that fell short of our expectations and every single staff member we encountered was unfailingly friendly and helpful.
I first golfed at Kingsbarns in 2002 and had not returned until this year. The course and the hospitality has stood the test of time. From the welcome out front and from the starter to the quality of the caddies the experience was top rate. And the course was in marvelous shape. It was challenging, yet fair. I look forward to returning in the future.
I just wanted to pass along my thanks for an amazing experience last week at Kingsbarns. It’s not always easy to find a customer focused organization anymore but your team was fantastic. From the very first welcome to the last goodbye everything was done with a smiling face and a “can do” attitude. Although I can’t remember the names of your staff, it was clear they were there to make sure it was a great day! And by a very lucky chance I’m flying back to Scotland again today and will be back at Kingsbarns in a little over a week. I look forward to another fantastic day! Thanks for setting the example for others to follow.
The entire experience at Kingsbarns was absolutely fantastic. I enjoyed every minute and cannot wait to have a return trip. As a single player, I could not have asked to be paired with a better group. They were incredibly welcoming, easy to play with and a great pair to play a round with. The setting and course were spectacular. Personally, the highlight of the day had to be my caddie, Scotty. Scotty, as well as the other caddies in the group (Jack and Frasier), was an absolute treat and contributed so much to my enjoyment of the day, offering great advice on course strategy/management, as well as great conversation all day. I am so glad that I was able to play your wonderful course. The entire day was unforgettable and my trip to Scotland would not have been the same had I missed out on this opportunity. Thank you so much for the hospitality!
Experience was incredible. We played 2 rounds, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon. First one with caddies, second without. Service incredible, all employees super helpful, course in perfect state. Clearly an experience I will recommend and hopefully repeat.
A quick thank you to you and all the team at Kingsbarns for making our anniversary more special, as usual a warm welcome, but the added extras of the ‘Anniversary Bag Tags ‘ and ‘ the wee half ‘ at the Half Way House were a touch of class, look forward to getting back before the end of the year, thanks again
