Crail Balcomie Links is a real touch of golfing history as it is the 7th oldest
golf club in the world - golf has been enjoyed here since 1786.
The golf course was
first used permanently by the Crail Golfing society in 1885 when golfing legend
Old Tom Morris laid out the original nine holes. Tom stated at the time "there
is not a better course in Scotland." It remains a beautiful course, superbly
maintained, not too long and full of interest with magnificent views of the sea
from every tee.
The sea comes into play on a number of holes where a decision to gamble with
the beach or take the easier dogleg has to be made. Positioning of the tee shot
is more important than length on most holes and you will experience some
excellent short holes.
A second golf course, Craighead Links, was opened in 1998 and is also worth playing
if you would like a full day of golf at this lovely location.
