The Torrance golf course at the Fairmont St Andrews in Scotland will reopen this summer after an extensive updating and renovation, part of a £10 million investment at the resort. With cliff-top holes and stunning views of the North Sea and the skyline of the town of St Andrews, The Torrance will be the final qualifying course for the 2010 British Open. Among the changes, some bunkers are being redesigned and all of the tees will be rebuilt for better draining and turf conditions. Also at the resort, the coastside 7,049-yard Kittocks Course (formerly the Devlin course) has also been improved.
Located just south of St Andrews, the Fairmont is a 5-star luxury resort with 209 newly renovated rooms and suites, and "Manor Home" villas; five dining venues, a spa and health club, all on more than 500 acres of glorious Scottish coast. This Fairmont was voted 18th in the World's Top 100 Golf Resorts 
by readers of Condé Nast Traveler, and was awarded Resort Hotel of the Year 2008 by Golf Tourism Scotland.
Of the several golf packages available, the Fairmont offers the "Old Course Winter Special" through March 30, 2009, including two nights luxurious accommodation, three rounds of golf on the St Andrews links courses including a guaranteed tee time on the Old Course, and daily breakfast (www.fairmont.com, 800-441-1414, standrews.scotland@fairmont.com).
