Fairmont Hotels & Resorts boast some of the world’s most spectacular golf courses: you can walk in the footsteps of top PGA players on Fairmont championship greens, take on daring hazards amid turquoise seaside views, and play historic layouts that are sure to excite today’s golfers.

Fairmont St Andrews
Dramatic cliff-top views of the wild North Sea define Fairmont St Andrews’ 520-acre estate. Your time here is spent improving your handicap on the two world-class golf courses, unwinding with the help of indulgent treatments and extensive hydrotherapy facilities at Fairmont Spa, or savouring exquisite Scottish steak and seafood at St Andrews Bay Clubhouse & Grill.

Golf courses in Scotland are among the best in the world and Fairmont St Andrews, situated in the “Home of Golf”, is proud to be recognised as one of the top golf resorts – ranked 65th in the world in the 2023 rankings. The Torrance course was designed by former Ryder Cup and golfing legend Sam Torrance and is marked by its deep revetted bunkers, large greens and links design. As for the Kittocks course from designers Bruce Devlin and Gene Sarazen, it makes full use of the property’s coastal location and is arguably more pleasing visually. It has large rolling greens, undulating fairways and holes perched on top of the cliff tops and breathtaking sea views.  The golf courses offer championship links-style golf with a tournament history continuing to grow after the Torrance hosted the St Andrews Bay Championship in 2023, an inaugural event on the Asian Tour.
