Corporate Golf Days
Many a business deal has been struck on a golf course and St Andrews Bay offers some fantastic Corporate Golf Days from £65 per person.

The packages include coffee and bacon rolls on arrival, 18 holes on the Torrance course, a golf gift, soup and sandwiches or high tea in the Clubhouse and dinner in a private function room (depending on the package). 

With a dramatic cliff top setting offering stunning views over the Fife coastline and the medieval skyline of St Andrews, the £58m resort boasts two championship courses – The Torrance, designed by 2002 Ryder Cup winning captain Sam Torrance, and The Devlin, by Bruce Devlin with over 150 courses worldwide to his credit. 

The £2m clubhouse completes the resort’s golf facilities and provides the perfect location to relax and savour the unrivalled surroundings. Perched dramatically on a cliff edge, the clubhouse has full PGA training facilities, as well as a restaurant and bar equally ideal for entertaining guests in an intimate setting or hosting a corporate golf day prize giving. 

Individuality is something the resort prides itself on and the dedicated golf and conference & events teams are happy to discuss any specific requests guests may have to ensure that their experience at St Andrews Bay is a success – both on and off the fairway. And the exclusive gold and silver membership packages ensure that at St Andrews Bay business is most definitely mixed with pleasure.
