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.

When can we go again?

Fantastic experience. The Fairmount Torrance course is a fantastic links course. The course was in great condition and the staff are very welcoming. We seemed to have the course to ourselves so took the time to enjoy the surroundings and great views. After using Teeofftime to book a round for 3 people and making a great saving we discovered that the Fairmount course also have golfboards available (look up golfboards). So from money saved we decided to book a golfboard each. Best decision we made. Perfect for adding extra fun to your golfing experience. We manage to take our time on them and still play the front 9 in 1hr. We have never had so much fun on the golf course. I will definitely be playing the Torrance again. Definitely worth a visit. Thanks Fairmount.
