THE FAIRMOUNT, ST ANDREWS, FIFE, SCOTLAND
This was the first design for European Ryder Cup captain Sam Torrance, and officially opened in October of 2001. Designed exclusively for the walking golfer, the Torrance Course offers beautiful views of the North Sea and the Tay estuary of Carnoustie from the steep cliff-edge tees and greens, including a view of St. Andrews’ medieval skyline. Eight new holes were added in recent years to enhance the course as it was a qualifying venue for the 2010 Open Championship at St. Andrews and also hosted the 2010 Scottish Senior Open.
A traditional links course common to the area, the course is a combination of vast, undulating fairways and rolling greens. The view from the clubhouse is one of a mixture of colours, with the brown and green of the rolling slopes complimenting the gentle blue of the water.
