Dating from 1786, Crail is the seventh oldest golf club in the world and it’s got one of the prime links locations you could wish for. There are two courses; Old Tom Morris laid out Balcomie Links in 1895 and is a challenging Par 69 full of subtlety and is blessed with many great holes. You can’t find much better links than this and yet it’s a fraction of the cost of the more famous courses in the region. Gill Hanse built the recently built Craighead and it’s a surprisingly natural layout taking full advantage of the amazing views and prevailing winds. What a great (and cost-effective way) of playing 36 holes of great links.
