Fairmont St Andrews drives new golf packages and initiatives to get more women and girls into the sport

To encourage more women and girls on the courses, Fairmont St Andrews is rolling out new initiatives and resort packages. Who wouldn’t want to join lessons with top professionals, social events and luxury stays with spa treatments?

Fairmont St Andrews has signed up to the R&A (Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews) Women in Golf Charter to help inspire more women and girls to join the sport.

Their Time to Tee Off with Fairmont St Andrews package is designed to help guests progress their game with specialist professional training and unlimited golf, while enjoying the perfect retreat with spa treatments and exquisite dining.

We believe that golf is a sport which should be enjoyed by everybody. Yet it is estimated that less than 20% of golfers in the UK are female, which highlights a disparity in the number of women and girls taking to the sport. As a famous golfing destination, we want to be at the forefront in providing females with a platform to enter the game and access to the very best coaching, course and training facilities – all to be enjoyed as part of a relaxing coastal retreat.

Supporting Girls in Golf

Fairmont St Andrews will donate 25% of revenue from package sales to the Golf Foundation, in support of their ‘Girls in Golf’ bid to inspire more female golfers to take to the courses.

Vanessa Bell, head of fundraising at the Golf Foundation, said: “We are delighted to have the support of Fairmont St Andrews. Growing the game to more women and girls is a vital part of what we do. We have the initiatives in place to reach more girls and our work has shown that we can have an impact – the support of Fairmont St Andrews in both reaching more people and raising vital funds is a huge boost to us.”

Fairmont St Andrews Director of Gold Callum Nicol said: “All leaders in the golf industry have a responsibility to encourage golf for everyone. We’re extremely fortunate in this resort-based model that we can create such a welcoming and friendly environment for everyone.”

Golf classes and social events

In further initiatives, Fairmont St Andrews is also running Weekly Ladies get in to golf classes and planning to start ladies golf social events soon. They are also encouraging the careers development of women working on their golf team.

The Golf Foundation, which Fairmont St Andrews is supporting, is a registered charity which introduces children from all backgrounds to golf in a bid to create golfers of the future. They help young people to ‘Start and Stay’ in golf by making their introduction to the game fun, innovative, inspiring, inclusive and enriching.
