1st February 2011 Print

Club golfers are being given the unique opportunity to play competitive golf on the Old Course, St Andrews, thanks to Fairmont St Andrews and the Old Course Experience.

The five-star resort is hosting the exclusive St Andrews Pro Am from June 25-30 which takes in some of the Home of Golf's finest layouts, including 18 holes on the Old Course.

Competitors will have the dream opportunity to make the pilgrimage to the famous old town and sample its courses and atmosphere while following in the footsteps of legends.

The five-night package includes a 72-hole competition played across St Andrews Old and New courses, Kingsbarns and Fairmont St Andrews' Torrance course.

Players' performances will contribute to a team Stableford score while there will also be prizes for the best professional and amateur strokeplay performances, with pros off scratch.

As a special memento of the event each golfer will take home a souvenir photo of their team on the Swilken Bridge as well as a range of official souvenir merchandise.

The exclusive package costs a team £2,815 per amateur, which includes five nights' five-star accommodation at Fairmont St Andrews, four competition rounds of golf, and a complimentary place for their professional.

Prices are based on teams of four sharing two twin rooms and include daily breakfast and lunch as well as drinks receptions and dinner on the first and last nights, with prizegiving and entertainment on the latter.

Room upgrades and extra rounds of golf are available on request, as are airport transfers.
