Golf Courses

Guests benefit from two outstanding championship courses on-site, each offering a contrasting challenge in a spectacular coastal setting.

The Torrance Course Par: 72 | Designer: Sam Torrance | Opened: 2001 The Torrance is the resort’s flagship championship course, offering a true test of links-style golf. Set along the rugged coastline, it features rolling fairways, deep bunkering, and exposed conditions shaped by coastal winds. The layout demands precision and strategic play, with several holes offering stunning views across St Andrews Bay.

The Kittocks Course Par: 71 | Designer: Bruce Devlin & Gene Sarazen (later enhancements) | Opened: 2002 The Kittocks provides a slightly more forgiving but equally scenic round, with wider fairways and dramatic clifftop holes overlooking the sea. Its signature par-3s and panoramic views make it one of the most visually memorable courses in Scotland.
