As an alternative to a venue-dependent second club, the privileges of Membership are crafted to build on local dimensions with regional and international golfing experiences via an outstanding schedule of events and a unique Secretariat (Concierge) Service. The Club’s evolution has witnessed it become more than just a golf club – it is as much about accessing THE HOME OF GOLF magnificent experiences, participating in outstanding events and meeting wonderful people as it is about golf. Unlike any other Club in the world the flexibility and range of Membership privileges ensures members are able to utilise the Club’s services wherever and whenever they travel, meaning that Membership becomes an important part of their lifestyle. PITTORMIE CASTLE - THE MOST LUXURIOUS PRIVATE CLUB IN ST ANDREWS, SCOTLAND PITTORMIE CASTLE The Club’s home, Pittormie Castle, is a magnificent baronial castle which provides a warm ambience with facilities and services that are typically found only in the very finest Private Clubs. Members have a special place to relax, dine and entertain their own guests. The Castle has become the fulcrum of every Member’s visit to Scotland, with staff organizing golf, accommodation, dining, transfers, alternative activities and sightseeing excursions for non-playing partners. Formerly the home of the first Duke of Fife, having been given to Ludovic of Lennox by King James VI in 1596, the Castle was lovingly restored by The Eden Club in 2005 under the guidance of Historic Scotland. TRANSFERS Upon arrival at any of the airports - Edinburgh (55 minutes), Dundee (15 minutes) - our fleet of drivers and vehicles are on hand to greet you and your guests and transfer you to the castle. A warm welcome awaits at Pittormie, as it’s our pleasure to receive Members back at their Scottish home. Transfers to and from the course are co- ordinated for each day’s play, enabling Members to concentrate on their game. BEDROOMS Within the Castle there are eight suites, each uniquely designed and decorated with their own en-suite bathroom. Furnished to the highest specifications, each room is as relaxing as it is delightful. The sense of luxury can be measured in every little detail, from the number of pillows on the bed to the thread count of the sheets on the handmade oversized four-poster beds. At the foot of each bed a TV box houses a plasma TV, rising by remote control, with terrestrial and satellite channels. Each room has wi-fi and cabled access to ensure internet connection at your own desk.

  • Kingsbarns Golf Links St
    Kingsbarns Golf Links St. Andrews, Scotland Architect: Kyle Phillips and Mark Parsinen ( 2000) Par Rating Slope Yardage Medal 72 73.2 136 6807 Regular 72 70.7 132 6351 Ladies 72 70.7 126 5238 Overview: The heritage of the Kingsbarns Golfing Society dates back to 1793 but the availability of golf under their name was interrupted twice over the centuries. Most recently during World War II when ground was taken by the military for defensive war purposes. In 2000 Kingsbarns was revived under the watchful eye of a couple of Americans, Mark Parsinen and Art Dunkley, who hired Kyle Phillips to manufacture this stunning links course on 190 acres of farmland in the current location. Kyle gave it the full high-end treatment complete with grand scale dunes, crumpled fairways, bumps and hollows galore, revetted bunkers, and sprawling green complexes with character. They spared no expense in creating this place, tapping into the knowledge of Robert Price the author of Scotland’s Golf Courses for advice on design features and Walter Wood the retired greens superintendent at St. Andrews for guidance on local turf issues. They created a bit of Whistling Straits in St. Andrews......to even the experienced eye it looks like it is nature’s work. This stiff links experience is not for the faint of heart, it was built for hosting professional championships. The course plays hard and fast with generous run ups from as far out as 100 yards to accommodate play along the ground. By no means is this a target golf course, it will punch and counter punch you during the round so you have to be ready to respond.

  • Cambo Estate and Its Buildings Conservation Management Plan
    Cambo Estate and its Buildings Conservation Management Plan March 2013 CAMBO: A WINDOW ON THE PAST, A DOOR TO THE FUTURE 1 Executive Summary The Cambo Institute has commissioned this Conservation Management Plan from Page \ Park Architects to provide a framework for the ongoing management and development of Cambo Estate. The document will be expanded in due course as additional areas of conservation and change are considered. At this stage, the focus is on building repair, conservation and adaptive re-use proposals which are the subject of funding applications, including a major application to The Heritage Lottery Fund. The principal focus is on the Stables buildings but also refers to the Walled Garden Glass Houses and the Coach House which are part of the overall project. Following a broad overview of the history and significance of the Estate, the history of the evolution of the Stables buildings are researched in some detail and the qualities of what remains extant are established. Reference is also made to the Glass Houses and Coach House under this ‘Understanding the Heritage’ section. The core of this document is the Statements and Assessments of Significance and these are set out in relation to the various building elements and settings under consideration, the relative significance of these elements being assessed against appropriate broad-ranging criteria. Flowing from this understanding and assessment process, risks and opportunities have been identified and policies established to guide consideration of future change. The need for change to ensure the long term integrity of the buildings and the wider conservation of and access to the Estate is acknowledged and parameters set for such change.
