Fairmont St Andrews Resort

The American journalist Paul Harvey reckoned that ‘Golf is a game in which you yell “fore”, shoot six and write down five.’

Today’s Big Deal on eighteen holes at the Fairmont St Andrews resort adds up a lot more sweetly.

It’s simple. Option one is for one golfer to play eighteen holes on The Torrance Course. Option two is for eighteen holes on The Kittocks.

Happy golfers

The Torrance and Kittocks courses at St Andrews have made a lot of golfers very happy. This first review was left on TripAdvisor by a golfer who had just played The Torrance:

‘The course and the weather was truly stunning – one game to remember. Although I have played the Torrance on a number of occasions in the past this was the 1st time for a few years. Boy-o-boy, how the course has matured and now truly compliments the setting of the Fairmont St Andrews.’

Writing on Golf Boo earlier this year, one fan had this to say of The Kittocks:

‘Fantastic. I found the layout of this course to be excellent and I really enjoyed playing here. Course was in great nick and the holes were all really good, so much so that it’s hard for me to choose a favourite. The views and surroundings were great and the staff were great!’

If you would like to play a round that will live in the memory for a long time, then swing towards todays’ Big Deal on eighteen holes at Fairmont St Andrews.

This offer would also make a wonderful gift for the golfer in your life. Any birthdays on the horizon?
