The Golf Tourism Scotland awards recognise the very
best exponents of golf in Scotland and are voted for by those who are most
knowledgeable on the subject – the people working within the country’s golf
tourism industry.
The five-star Fairmont St Andrews resort boasts two
championship golf courses, The
Torrance and The
Kittocks, and has played host to a number of prestigious events, including
both the Open Championship’s final local qualifying and the SSE Scottish Senior
Open since 2009.
Originally opened in 2001 and designed by Bruce
Devlin, the coastal Kittocks course offers 18 challenging holes with
spectacular panoramic views of the Eden Estuary and North Sea. Enhanced
following remediation work in 2009, The Kittocks Course, with its undulating
terrain, can be played from four sets of tees, with golf buggies available,
making it ideal for players of all abilities
Fairmont St Andrews’ general manager, Robert
Glashan, who accepted the award on behalf of the resort, said: “We’re very
proud of all the accolades Fairmont St Andrews has amassed over the last couple
of years as a resort, but for The Kittocks Course to receive added recognition
from the Golf Tourism industry here in Scotland is something really
special. This is testament to all the
hard work that our Golf Course Superintendent Neil Ballingall and his team put
in throughout the year”
During its 12-year history Fairmont St Andrews has accumulated a host of accolades for hospitality, golf, spa and cuisine, as well as welcoming some of the world’s most powerful individuals as the venue for a G20 summit and Northern Ireland peace talks, while Prince William was a regular visitor and member of the spa and gym while studying at university.
