About

Perched atop the cliffs that are situated above St. Andrews Bay, Fairmont St. Andrews offers two stunning traditional links golf courses, the Torrance and the Kittocks. In a region famous for being the home of golf, both courses manage to hold their own against the area's other links courses. Playing the Torrance Course, you would never believe that it was once flat farmland. The designer, Sam Torrance, transformed the course into a challenging links layout that looks as though it has been there forever. The classic Scottish bunkers that are strategically placed throughout provide a formidable test. Be careful from the 14th green to the final hole or you might find yourself tumbling down the rocky cliffs. This dramatic final stretch of holes is especially scenic and challenging with greens that play right along the edge of the water.

Excellent course, great condition

Superb set up for the Torrance course. With the temperatures and soft ground the course did play long but it wasn’t too extreme for a 14 handicap. We had a frost delay in the morning so started from the 10th. Staff were friendly, I will visit again in the warmer weather.

Great Vistas

A wonderful course - lush fairways with great views - incredibly well manicured. Much more like an American course with sea views. Course was empty - played as a single (walking) in 3 hours. Great sunny day on a great course

1st class.

Top class course.

Played all over Scotland this year from Golspie to Southerness and everything in between and this was one of my favorites.

So glad I travelled the distance from Glasgow to St Andrews to play this tremendous course beautiful views of the sea and the Auld Grey Toon.

Excellent greens and fairways for time of year. Paid £50 for 18 holes and worth every penny.

Really good price and a great way to see courses that might be a-lot dearer in the summer.

Hats off to the staff and green keepers magical place.👏👍
