Golf
Trump International Golf Links Aberdeen
- The Trump International Golf Course in the northeast of Scotland was designed by Dr. Martin Hawtree, a renowned master of golf course architecture. In the great tradition of Scottish links golf, the par 72 course has a total length of over 7,400 yards, with a classic nine-hole two-loop pattern. The 18 world-class holes wind their way through dunes and valleys, offering a sequence of panoramic views rich in vegetation and wildlife.
Lundin Golf Club
- The course remains largely as it was some 100 years ago. The first five holes are in classic links tradition proceeding from the Clubhouse to the Mile Dyke. Players then cross the now extinct railway line and play the nine ‘newer' James Braid designed holes on what one might describe as a cross between links and parkland turf. Back across the railway, the last four holes revert to pure links. Not long by modern standards, Lundin nonetheless presents a thorough test of the golfer’s skills.
Dumbarnie Golf Links
The contemporary design by Clive Clark features panoramic views of the Bay of Forth, holes that call for strategic decisions, and a lot of variety. The course, laid out on a flat surface, recreates dunes, undulations, and elevation changes to add diversity to the design and give the impression that it has always been there. Wide fairways, greens with plenty of movement, and bunkers for all tastes: pot bunkers, waste areas, and others of irregular shape.
Kingsbarns Golf Links
- This modern course is a Kyle Phillips masterpiece and considered one of the best links courses in the world. On an impressive plot of land that constantly overlooks the sea and the bay of St. Andrews, the club offers all the facilities at a 5-star level.
- It is a very playable course for everyone from the right tee, and it features lots of creative shots that make it a lot of fun, especially its 4 par 3s for beauty and challenge. It has hosted the Alfred Dunhill Championship.
Fairmont St Andrews (Torrance Course)
Playing the Torrance Course, you’d never believe it was once flat farmland. Designer Sam Torrance transformed the land into a challenging links-style layout that feels as if it has always been there. The strategically placed classic Scottish bunkers provide a formidable test. Be cautious from the 14th green to the final hole, or you might find yourself tumbling over the rocky cliffs. This spectacular closing stretch of holes is especially scenic and challenging, with greens that play along the water's edge.
Accommodation
Fairmont St. Andrews Hotel
- This 5-star hotel is perched on cliffs overlooking St Andrews Bay. It has free parking, free Wi-Fi connection, spa and swimming pool. The Fairmont St Andrews offers a number of dining options, including La Cucina Italian Restaurant, Squire's Restaurant and the Social Club, which overlooks the medieval town of St Andrews. This resort features 2 world-class golf courses (The Torrance and The Kittocks) and a spa with a state-of-the-art fitness center, 50-foot pool, steam room, sauna and hot tub.
