Golf Around Scotland. The Fairmont St Andrews Golf Resort and Spa. The Fairmont St Andrews Golf Resort & Spa is the premier golf destination in Scotland. Sitting on the summit of a spectacular formation, the hotel and its two championship golf courses have breathtaking panoramic views of the River Tay estuary, the North Sea and the medieval skyline of St Andrews. Golf and superb golf courses have always been synonymous with St Andrews, the legendary "Home of Golf." At the Fairmont we have combined the skills, expertise and personalities of Gene Sarazen, Bruce Devlin and Sam Torrance to create a magnificent golf resort boasting two cliff top courses that embody that special association. The Torrance Course, designed by the late Gene Sarazen and winning Ryder Cup Captain, Sam Torrance, is a par 72, 7037 yard course that sweeps its way around the hotel and down to the coastal edge It has been designed using the principles of links golf with an infusion of new styles.  The natural contours of the land and the dramatic coastal setting are combined with a unique blend of Rye grass, innovative green-keeping skills and the expertise of winning Ryder Cup captain, Sam Torrance. Immediately the game begins by testing the golfer with challenging bunkers, undulating fairways and greens, and the occasional meandering stream making precision and club selection paramount.  As the course advances it works its way around the imposing structure of the hotel before bursting open to reveal a cross section of the remaining twelve holes down towards the cliff edge and all the while framed by the powerful canvass of the St Andrews skyline. Bruce Devlin's experience and expertise have provided the Devlin with its innovative and exciting character.  It is a truly magnificent 72par, 7,049 yard championship course that sweeps its way along the rugged seaside landscape.  This as yet, undiscovered gem begins by innocently easing the golfer into a false sense of security, offering wide, well manicured fairways that wind around man-made water features and risky bunkers, teasing the golfer with a mix of par fours and fives. Then it is onto the par 5, 7th where the walk to the tee signals the beginning of the roller coaster style ride up, over and around the rugged wilderness of Kittock's Den.  These ridge holes open up to the panorama of the white water crashing on the rocky shoreline below and over the body of the North sea to the Grampian mountains which dominate the horizon.  The ever-changing ambience of this vast and spectacular view heightens the experience for the golfer.
