The most historic location in golf with one of the most modern and luxurious hotels. Can it get any better than this? The skills, expertise & personalities of Gene Sarazen, Bruce Devlin & Sam Torrance have combined to create two cliff-top courses that symbolize this glorious alliance.
Golf has been played at St Andrews for hundreds of years (the first reference to the game here dates from 1552) and with the creation of the Fairmont St Andrews resort the historic and the modern have been brought together to provide the best of contemporary facilities in one of the game's time-honoured settings.
No visit to St Andrews Bay would be complete without a round of golf and the two superb courses promise players of all abilities a truly memorable golfing experience. Circling the hotel is the par 72, 7026-yard Torrance Course, the 18-hole championship course designed by the late Gene Sarazen and Sam Torrance which tests players with cliff-edge tees and greens while affording a range of stunning sea views. Stretching along the sweeping coastline (and opening in July 2002) is the par 71, 7020-yard Kittocks Course, created by Gene Sarazen and Bruce Devlin, which provides its own selection of challenges. From the ridge of Kingask Hill the new state of the art clubhouse, overlooks both courses and is equipped with driving range, pro shop, practice area and its own restaurant.
As a Fairmont hotel, this resort provides accommodation and dining facilities of the highest international quality. With over 200 sumptuous guest rooms, that combine the latest in leisure and professional amenities with all the comforts of home, and a choice of dining environments in which to enjoy everything from a light snack to a dinner of mouth-watering local seafood, Fairmont St Andrews caters for every taste and occasion.
