Fairmont St Andrews

Great hotel with a great atmosphere. Caters well for golfers and in a very good location. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Only disappointment was the clubhouse bar and restaurant was closed on the Monday.

Staff more than helpful in all areas of hotel. Very comfortable stay. Hotel very quiet and beds very comfortable. Courtesy bus offered to take us to St Andrews in evening. Overall a very good stay.

Amazing hotel in a beautiful surrounding. Everything was perfect: the luxurious bedroom, the spacious halls and stylish sitting sitting rooms. We had a wonderful time!

He hotel, staff and facilities were fantastic. The price of £175 b&b plus two rounds of golf was well worth it. Thanks for helping with the bookings as we turned up played and enjoyed our stay. Shame the weather on Monday wasn’t as good as Sunday

We booked our trip for my husbands 65th Birthday and our 45th wedding anniversary, first can i say the hotel was so nice the staff were just amazing couldn't do enough for us. I would rate it 10 out of 10.

This hotel is fantastic, we truly loved everything about it. Our room was amazing and everything was top class. Two high standard golf courses that exceeded our expectations.

Absolutely fabulous hotel highly recommend

From driving in through the well manicured entrance you are made to feel as if you belong, a welcoming atmosphere from everyone over the course of our too brief a stay, the room was clean, well furnished and spacious, the beds are extremely comfortable and the quiet is deafening. The breakfast choice is extensive, well presented & prepared. Overall it is one of the the most pleasant places to play & stay I have encountered.

the hotel was clean the staff could not do another for you plenty of information there was no sign post for the car park that was the only minus

Absolutely beautiful place very scenic and fabulous golf courses

Hotel was great. Excellent service. Bar area a little pricey but to be expected at such a great hotel.

We played the Kittocks course when our golf society visited St Andrews for our 10 year anniversary tour. I was lucky enough to play the Torrance Course a few years back and, in general, found the Kittocks to be more scenic, but a little easier as it’s slightly more open. Overall we found that the higher handicaps in the group scored better on the day, but everyone came off the course nicely surprised as to how good it was.

Thank you for everything yourgolftravel did for me and my mates. The golf trip to Scotland was great! It was a bit windy but thankfully dry and that was a bonus for this time of the year! I scored well on the Old Course with a par on the road hole; what more can you ask for?!

The Fairmont St Andrews Hotel was really nice with very nice rooms and very pleasant staff.

Again many, many thanks for a very enjoyable, trouble free golf trip.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to The Fairmont St Andrews, which we combined with a golf lesson from a local Pro using the Trackman device, which we found extremely interesting and also quite soul destroying!

The two golf courses at The Fairmont – Torrance and Kittocks – were both in great condition for this time of year; the greens especially so. Both courses were very playable and would suit golfers of all handicaps but without doubt to score well, you need to play some good golf.

The staff in the clubhouse and proshop were all very welcoming with a ready smile and friendly conversation. When we checked in on the second day for our golf we were down to play the Torrance course again instead of the Kittock. The staff acknowledged it was their mistake and provided us with a buggy to start at the 10th as the 1st was busy all day. Not ideal but they could not have been more accommodating and helpful and later offered us discounted green fees when we return. Top class service.

The hotel was first class too with a large bedroom with two double beds and an excellent bathroom. The choice of dining in the Hotel was reasonable. We ate in the Italian restaurant and the food was very good. As with all hotels of this class, the price of drinks and wine is a bit over the top but when it’s served by lovely staff with the right kind of attitude it helps take the pain away!

We would certainly stay at Fairmont St Andrews again and overall felt it was excellent value for money and the kind of venue ideally suitable for husbands and wives looking for a golf break.

Thanks to YGT for your professionalism in organising the trip. I liked the text messages before and after our games wishing us well.

Will speak to you soon about our next golf break.

Our recent golf trip to Scotland was absolutely fabulous. It was a celebration of my 60 birthday with some of my closest friends and the entire long weekend was flawless.

To get 16 grumpy middle aged men all to agree on anything is truly exceptional but there wasn't one dissenting voice in agreeing that this was one of the best golf trips they had been on.

The Fairmont St Andrews Hotel was brilliant with large rooms, with 2 comfy double beds per room and overall the facilities were excellent with the bars staying open to silly o'clock every night we were there.

The 4 courses we played were all in tip top condition and each had their own challenges to overcome.

The Jewel of the tour for me was The Dukes course, which was both beautiful and challenging, closely followed by the Balcomie Links course which boasted stunning scenery and an exacting test of golf. Both had great club houses too.

The 2 golf courses at Fairmont St Andrews were fairly similar in that they were both true links courses, with challenges coming from some truly awesome fairway and green side bunkers, as well as some serious rough! The views on some of the holes more than made up for the vast quantity of golf balls that disappeared into the long grass, never to be seen by man again!

Again I would like to thank all at YGT who made this weekend a memorable one for all who attended.

Regarding my trip to the Fairmont St. Andrews golf resort; it was fantastic from the moment we arrived until we left.

We found the facility very easily and when we arrived our rooms were ready at 0930 rather than after 1500, as is the norm. The rooms were fantastic and the meals second to none. The steak pie at the club house is to die for and the price of a pint at £4.50 isn’t too bad for a 5 star golfing complex.

The golf courses – the Torrance & Kittocks – were both absolute gems and from tee box to green, they were in fantastic condition. 

The members of staff at the hotel and the clubhouse were also very, very good.

I will be booking to go back as my friends enjoyed it as much as I did.

We had a great trip to Scotland and thought it was absolute top value for money.

The Fairmont St Andrews hotel was magnificent, as were the golf courses, both of which were in first class condition, with the Kittocks being our favourite of the two.

We basically had both courses to ourselves so the clubhouse was very quiet. The pro was very helpful and friendly.

Food and drink was a bit pricey but the 5* environment in the hotel was great and I would recommend this golf break to anyone - 10 /10 trip.

YGT service was very good too and I would have no problem in recommending your company to my buddies.

The day was an improvement on the day before. It was still a stiff breeze but manageable. The course was like the Torrance suffering with the very wet winter weather, very wet all over. Proved to be at very stiff test.

Weather was the issue. On the day of play the wind was stronger than any of the party had ever played in 50+ mph. This was on top of the wettest winter in Scotland that I can remember, the whole course was saturated. No serious competition would have been possible with the overhead and course condition.

Today we use puggi very good time finish 1.30 everybody happy next time we need to play old course can you recommend with month better please let us know thanks

Good time we walk to late if we use puggi maybe quick finish 16.00 darkest evenings good

The course is very nice but it was raining hard, so we couldn’t fully appreciate it

Wonderfull!

Wonderfull!

The weather conditions added to the difficulty on this course. I would be keen to play this course on a nicer day to see how well it plays

Whilst being offline often led to a lost ball the course was challenging and enjoyable. The range was available before each round and the guys in the pro shop were extremely helpful

High standard golf courses that exceeded our expectations.

Loved this course great lay out and variety in holes

Great course beautiful views and a challenge to any golfer

Found the Torrance the easier of the 2 courses at Fairmont, although every bit as challenging as the kittocks it benefits from more weather shielding being more inland for a good proportion of the course, making a front 9 loop around the hotel it then heads out towards the coastline, I found an approach to one slightly raised green particularly arresting, as you reach the green the flag is framed by a parting of the gorse bushes behind revealing a view accross the bay and St Andrews bathed in sunshine leaves a lasting impression of being in the home of golf, the course was as good if not better than we hoped for, a real golf course and true test of shot making with game management a must.

I would not have liked to play the course in anything more than the 12 mph winds we played in, played in late March when the rough was dormant so finding an errant ball though difficult was possible, the fairways and greens were pure and manicured, the views constantly distract but in a good way, when you're playing an approach into a green that appears to be sat on the edge of a cliff with nothing but sea as a backdrop, it certainly focuses your attention. Will be back for sure.

this day the weather was good but the golfers in front of us were very slow so this today it took longer excellent course my partner would definitely go again fantastic weekend could not fault it.

the only draw back was the weather gale force winds but the course was excellent

Really enjoyed it. 1st time here

Really nice course that makes you think of shots. Wayward shots will be punished with thick rough and even fairway shots weren't guaranteed to be safe with strategic bunker positions. The views at the course were breathtaking as well.

Great course with added bonus of good weather

We managed to have really good weather for time of year which was a bonus for a great afternoon of golf

This course was amazing the views from some of the greens were breath taking. Condition of course was outstanding. 2nd time playing at St. Andrews and will definitely be back

Great course with condition of greens were excellent slow play as alot of people were out which we didnt mind.
