Torrance Course - challenging test
Reviewed December 5, 2024
We played the course in early September 2024 in pleasant temperatures.
Mulligan described the course well. You should think carefully beforehand about which tees you will play from. The rough is tough. It is hard to find balls there. The condition is top notch. The greens are fast and in places quite undulating. The clubhouse is outstanding with a wonderful panoramic view.
Overall, recommendable, although we missed the charm of the "historic" links courses.

Kittocks Course - Top maintained course
Reviewed May 3, 2024
We played the course at the beginning of May, and the greens and fairways are in impeccable condition. Although nature is not quite in spring mode yet, it is advisable to hit the fairways, otherwise you will be busy searching in the rough.

Torrance Course
Reviewed April 22, 2020
Golf course: Maybe not as exciting as the Kittocks Course, but still beautiful. Old stone walls that are part of the square, pot bunkers and much more.
Space condition: you can not fault anything.
Conclusion: This course also means that you get a very good performance for a fair price.

Terrific
Reviewed December 28, 2019
We (hcp 7 and -0.6) were able to play the two courses Kittocks and Torrance at the end of October in classic left weather. Clear but strong wind and felt like 2 degrees. We are excited about these two places. Challenging, varied, perfect greens and beautiful bunker systems and wonderful views of the North Sea and St. Andrews. If the tee is not on the fairway, the par is almost out of reach. With the huge greens a 2-putt already a sense of achievement. Compared to the popular places in this region a great price-performance ratio and only recommendable.

The Kittocks
Reviewed September 13, 2019
Golf course: The course of this 36-hole course has certainly the better views. At the beginning it starts with wider fairways rather easy, before it becomes really difficult from the 15th - especially in headwinds.
Course condition: perfect!
Conclusion: Very nice place with sea and St. Andrews in the background - what more could you want.

Club / Place / Hotel TOP, Restaurant FLOP
Reviewed June 29, 2018
My wife (HCP -31) and I (HCP -11) played both courses 3 times in early May.
Both in super condition - fast and accurate greens, well-tended tee-off zones, fairways, bunkers, ...
The associated hotel is only to be recommended!!!
Unfortunately the restaurant in the golf club does not correspond to the hotel and golf club - here simply does not fit value for money - rather eat in the hotel or eat in one of the numerous pubs etc. directly in St. Andrews!

Played both courses
Reviewed July 13, 2016
I would play both courses. The end of June was not very busy and to have the GF to off-peak times for 30 pounds. Greens and fairways great, if you like, a cart hire, the club house is worth a recommendation.

Kittocks vs Torrance
Reviewed September 2, 2015
I end August 15 played both courses. The condition was great. The layout similar to both places. The restaurant is great, great view, good food, wine prices better than in southern Europe.
The question remains, what place is better. Kittocks has more beautiful paths along the sea and was varied.
Hcp 5 (would be cool if every author would indicate, because a player with a handicap of 30 probably many looks different than a player with a handicap of 12 etc)

Most beautiful links course
Reviewed August 16, 2015
Yesterday Kittocks played for the second time and the place has everything you would expect from a links golf course! The course was in great condition! On the exercise areas, a small but good chip area is offered with bunkers and grass tees, so that you can warm up beforehand or work well.
The holes are not just interesting to play even without wind and are optically perfectly applied to the coast. The view of the sea and St. Andrews over the 18 holes are indescribably beautiful.
Kittocks goes mostly directly along the coast. For us, the links course.
Green fees were absolutely a bargain £ 25 via the Internet tool.

Super Links Course
Reviewed July 28, 2014
It was all true to the Sam Torrence place.
Wonderfully laid out with a look back to St. Andrews and the North Sea.
The 50 pounds of green fees are well spent. It is incredible that one sees no other path from the currently played.
There were wonderful undulating tracks with superb greens and the famous pot bunkers.
An absolute alternative and recommendation to the normal green fee to play at St. Andrews. (Then drive another 2 miles to Kingsbarns and watch a try. Grade)

Beautiful Places
Reviewed June 22, 2014
Both courses played on 15/16.06.2014 There was very little going on.
Both courses in a great condition! Everything was perfect and I first
Kittocks and then Torrance've played! Torrance is the better of
the two places. Greenfee I find borderline

Thank you Sam Torrance!
Reviewed September 4, 2013
The beautifully integrated by Sam Torrance in the dunes place offers everything you would expect from a links course. Perfect haircuts and super fast greens, which also always require a particularly tactical scan because of her caliber. Green reading is therefore required! The fairways are hard and fast and have a precise match to... if the wind is not too much play along. Joy of a successful long putt can quickly become frustigem ball in the rough searching by wind and hard ground. Since the extremely dense rough but usually not more will bear the balls are collected despite diligent beautiful game may be penalized. Overall, the price is fair and also to play with a higher handicap. The purchase of books in birdie Proshop profitable in any case, because you get good tips there for each hole and the fairways can better assess.
The clubhouse is how the course is to Fairmont hotel complex - service is excellent and if you like, can also be quite a good meal there. Prices are ok.
The green fee price is borderline with 140 pound trolley incl.
Conclusion: typical and fair links course in a beautiful seaside location for sporty golf. Highly Recommended.
The present on the same plant "Kittocks" course is specially assessed.
