About Crail Golfing Society
Crail Golfing Society is set in the eastern edge of Fife. Founded in 1786 the club goes back to the very early days of the game of golf.
There are two terrific 18 holes courses, the Balcomie Links and Craighead Links. Just along from the two famous venues of St Andrews and Kingsbarns, Crail Golfing Society deserves more attention. Built on land just made for golf, you face two main challenges, the great layouts and the Scottish weather.
- Buggies Available upon reservation, we can book these for you.
- Trolleys - Electric and Manual available
- Caddies available
- Clubhouse - restaurant and bar
- Great shop
Our take
Golfers have been at it here since 1786, and Crail's two links, Balcomie and Craighead, deserve far more attention than they get in the shadow of St Andrews and Kingsbarns.
- Buddy tripsTwo full links at one club settles an entire 36-hole day, and the flat ground means the afternoon round stays a pleasure rather than a slog. St Andrews and Kingsbarns are just along the coast.
- Higher handicapsBalcomie is a par 69 on flat ground, which sounds forgiving and mostly is, right up until the Scottish weather arrives. The layout will not beat you up. The wind might.
- SocietiesA club founded in 1786 gives the dinner speeches their material, and two courses keep a big group moving without a fight over tee times, all on ground that was simply made for golf.
