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.
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.
