St Andrews course reopens

25 March 2010

 

The Kittocks course at Fairmont St Andrews reopened last weekend after a £17m refurbishment at the resort.

The course – formerly known as The Devlin after its eponymous designer – now includes two holes from The Torrance course: the seventeenth and eighteenth. When the course was originally designed, Devlin was assisted by Gene Sarazen and Sam Torrance.

“After an innocent start, the fifth hole begins a real roller-coaster ride through a spectacular landscape – it’s even been said that the finishing holes start on the fifth, giving The Kittocks’ golf’s longest finish,” said Stewart Elder, golf sales manager for Fairmont St Andrews.
