“Forgotten” St Andrews course to be resurrected

A dedicated project website has also been set-up at feddinchgolfresort.com. A web-based consultation has been scheduled for May 2021 between 3pm and 8pm, in line with current Scottish Government guidance on consultation during COVID-19.

All existing buildings at Feddinch Mains, with the exception of the farmhouse, are to be demolished as part of the proposed development, regenerating and re-using previously developed land.

If approved, the resort will provide golf club members and their guests with unrivalled standards. They will have access to a stunning clubhouse that combines outstanding quality in accommodation, dining and leisure. There will also be options available for community access.

The Feddinch development will also deliver considerable employment opportunities along with increased investment in the local Fife community.

A spokesperson for GPH Engineering said: “This exciting and ambitious
scheme will deliver unrivalled standards of golf, accommodation and
service at St Andrews, the home of golf, benefiting both members and the
local community. 

“The new course and clubhouse facilities will deliver some lovely
coastal views in a fantastic unrivalled location, supporting a growing
interest in golf, with the best courses attracting national and
international visitors.

“It is our clear desire to deliver a project with lasting economic benefits to the town, Fife and Scotland. Schemes such as this provide a vital means to support the recovery of the tourism sector from COVID-19, delivering considerable employment opportunities – both during construction and onsite once complete.

“We’re looking forward to consulting widely with the community and
key stakeholders over the coming months on our proposals, which will
include a digital consultation event in May.”

Weiskopf, who has been involved with the project as far back as 2004, added: “The
uniqueness of Feddinch is two-fold: it is in a superb location, just
2.5km from the beautiful town of St Andrews, the home of golf, and will
offer superb facilities, including a stunning clubhouse and golf course. 

“The new owners are committed to providing the most comprehensive
golfing experience in the British lsles and I am incredibly excited to
finally see this dream project come to fruition.”
