DESCRIPTION:

Crail Golfing Society, established in 1786, is one of the oldest golfing societies in the world, located on the stunning Fife coastline in Scotland. The society features two exceptional courses: the 18-hole, par-69 Balcomie Links course and the 18-hole, par-66 Craighead Links course. Balcomie Links, stretching 6,363 yards, is renowned for its breathtaking coastal views and challenging links layout, including iconic holes such as the par-4 seventh, which offers stunning vistas of the North Sea. The Craighead Links, measuring 5,752 yards, provides a more contemporary challenge with strategically placed bunkers and natural hazards.

Conveniently accessible via the A917, Crail is near local landmarks such as the historic Crail Harbour and the picturesque Firth of Forth. With a rich tradition of hosting prestigious tournaments, Crail Golfing Society is a must-visit for golfers seeking both history and challenge in one of Scotland’s most beautiful golfing destinations.

Balcomie - Fantastic Links

Very old course on North Sea coast 12 miles south of St Andrews. Clubhouse is for members and players only - so dont waly there from Crail to have a look around and expect to have a pint and a sandwich if any members are lurking in the shadows. The course is short but very hard when the wind blows. Stunning views throughout. £49 green fees may seem expensive, but it's well worth it. Some fairways are a bit close to each other (or 4 holes share the same very wide fairway). I would play midweek when the course is quiet otherwise it might be a tad frustrating.

Craighead - Is not Balcomie

Lovely course, set out for the American market, nice pretty condition, I'd dispute links over cliff top course, good greens, super fairways, however, if going for a true links test, take the Balcomie Course, they charge the same, but offer Craighead on certain golf deals, Next time Balcomie
