Fairmont St Andrews, the luxury accommodation provider at the Home of Golf, has appointed Amy Yeates to the position of director of golf at the five-star resort.
She will be responsible for the entire golf function at the resort and brings to the role extensive sales and operational experience gained in the last 10 years.
She returned to the UK in 2008 to take up the position of golf business development manager, for Exclusive Hotels' Mannings Heath and Manor House golf clubs, before heading to the Home of Golf in 2010, for a similar role at the Old Course Hotel & Spa. And she has spent the last four years back down south as assistant manager at the prestigious Goodwood Estate.
In March, Fairmont St Andrews selected Troon to manage golf operations at the championship venue.
