Disappointed that the course was even open. I did receive an early warning that buggies would be restricted to cart paths due to rain .. Sadly no warning that every tee box and fairway was underwater on the Kittocks course. To top off a miserable squelchy day the clubhouse was closed for a private function. No apologies were offered.

Played the Kittocks for the first time having heard lots of good things and read good reviews but I just cannot fathom the justification for such high reviews. I've played a lot of the top links courses in Fife and this just doesn't compare. Tee boxes were littered with divots, the fairways were long with sprouts of grass and weeds, the approaches had been tined and sanded (at the end of May??) and the greens were patchy at best. Not the conditions you would expect from a golf course charging £80. There were some interesting holes on the course but badly let down with the overall condition. Such a let down.

Mixed experience

From a golf perspective the course was in good condition (23/3) and as it was a sunny day with nominal wind, made it a relatively easy round. The course isn't overly challenging, but has great views and a varied mix of holes. Compare the hospitality to the local St Andrews links courses & it falls way behind. Nobody serving in the club house restaurant, bacon rolls or nothing was the choice (they even had to be buttered, no choice there then). Really missing a trick.

Maintenance needed

Played on 21st April in mixed cool conditions; practice area now has free balls on the range, but the tee mats are horrible (uneven and very clingy). Fairways had a huge number of unfilled divots; grass on fairways rather thin with a lot of muddy bare lies. Although greens tined and top dressed they were running very well; course design is excellent with plenty of fun holes to play. Lack of a toilet for ladies is a serious omission - 15 minutes to jog to the clubhouse and back between the 9th green and 10th tee is the closest point. Prices of everything in the clubhouse are eye watering.

Tough track with some memorable holes

Located a few minutes drive outside St Andrews, the Fairmont is a golf resort and the Torrance course is a tough one. It is not really a links course and the rough is penal. There are some memorable holes but many donot stand out and quite a few are very similar. The par 5 holes are all strong, good holes and there is some variety in the par 3 holes and a couple of the par 4 holes but many are long slogs into the prevailing wind. Conditioning was good but it was a real challenge if you don't have your A game.
