Crail Golfing Society
Home of the sixth-oldest golf club on the world, golfers visiting Crail Golfing Society are fortunate enough to have two fantastic courses on their doorstep. It is claimed that golf has been played here since 1786, but it was not until Old Tom Morris laid out the first nine holes in 1895 that Crail as it is now began to take shape.
As a popular stop as part of a St Andrews Golf Tour, Crail provides a superb day of golf exploring the ancient Balcomie Links and it's modern adjacent course, Craighead Links which despite it's youth is of equal challenge and excitement for those playing in this picturesque part of Scotland.

Golf Courses at Crail Golfing Society
Balcomie Course
The Balcomie Course is the original track, and is one of the purest, most traditional around. Located at the tip of Fife's hallowed East Neuk, there is no shelter from the elements at Crail, and the inevitable gales make negotiating the tricky Balcomie a genuine test of skill.
Many holes skirt the golden sandy beaches and rocky outcrops of the Forth's shoreline, and finding them off the tee is a genuine possibility. Negotiating these perils and the devilish pot bunkers littered around the excellent greens will leave a lasting memory on any visitor.

Craighead Links Course
In 1998, Crail was proud to open its second golf course, the Craighead Links. Designed by American Gil Hanse, the Craighead may not yet have the heritage of its illustrious neighbour, but it is a great test, with no two holes facing the same direction. As it matures year on year, its reputation will only grow, and cement Crail Golfing Society's position as a world-class golfing destination.
Pluck up some courage at ‘Hell's Hole', the fifth on the Balcomie, and have a go at carrying the corner where the sea encroaches.

A fantastic course (helped by playing it on a day that wasn't 'too' windy!) and the back 9 in particular was superb in terms of the scenery and the variety of holes, with a lot of thought needed and a lot of different tee and approach shot-making required. Definitely one that goes under the radar a bit, but hugely enjoyable and would thoroughly recommend for anyone who enjoys links golf but also likes something a bit different in terms of layout.

5 hour round due to the 4 ball in front despite them having a caddie.

First time playing Links golf. A great experience. The members said Balcomie Links (closer to the ocean) is even better. Very happy! They have a very nice range!

Match up with 3 players. The holes overlap and balls crossing over to our fairway. At one par four tee off hole, one player tee off from par three hole behind almost hit us.
