Crail Golfing Society (Balcomie Links)
Links Course in Crail, Scotland
Crail Golfing Society's Balcomie Links is a historic 18-hole links course located on the easternmost edge of the Kingdom of Fife, Scotland. Founded in 1786, the Crail Golfing Society is the seventh oldest golf club in the world. The Balcomie Links course was formally laid out by Old Tom Morris in 1895, though golf was played on the land since the 1850s. The course is known for its stunning coastal views, unique features like natural hollows, stone walls, and bunker faces clad in old railway sleepers, and a diverse set of par 3s. It's a par 69 and plays to a length of 5,861 yards from the white tees. The course offers a challenging yet enjoyable round with the sea visible from every hole. Facilities include a clubhouse with a restaurant and bar, pro shop, changing rooms, driving range, chipping green, and putting green. Caddie hire, golf club rentals, and golf lessons are available. The club does not offer lodging on-site.
