The Torrance
____________________________________________

The Torrance 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 dwarf rye grass and the expertise of Scottish golfing legend Sam Torrance.

The course begins by immediately 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 Fairmont hotel before bursting open to reveal a cross-section of the remaining 12 holes down towards the cliff edge and, all the while, framed by the powerful canvas of the St Andrews skyline.

The course will be closed throughout 2008 to allow for an extensive programme of refurbishment, designed to enhance the players’ experience. The course will reopen for play in early 2009.

Par 72 – 7,037 yards.
