Crail Golfing Society - Balcomie Course

Crail also goes by the name of the Crail Golfing Society, the 7th Oldest Golf Club in the world. Their members and guests have been enjoying some of the finest links golf in Scotland - many say the world - since 1786. Golfing legend Old Tom Morris laid out the original nine holes at Balcomie in 1895.

Situated 11 miles from the famous St Andrews golf courses, The Balcomie Links is relatively short at 5720 yards but its imaginative and tricky layout mean that it's no pushover.

Crail golf course tempts the golfer with difficult but rewarding shots including the 5th hole, known as "Hell's Hole", where a successful shortcut across the shoreline can prove either a round-winner or a disastrous mistake.
